Writing to sda1

[Robert E. Butts]

I'm puzzled by why you would want to?  Linux (except for Xandros 4 if
you believe their press releases) cannot write to NTFS volumes, so it's
a risky business even trying to mount one read-write.  There is also
Captive NTFS, which I have installed but not used yet (Too chicken).
The developer's web page is down at the moment, but here's a wikipedia
article of interest:
