Mounting NTFS into Ubuntu

[Eric Dunbar]

Hello all, I'm trying to mount an NTFS formatted partition into Ubuntu
as a READ-WRITE partition without success.

Each time I try mounting it I can only get it as a "read-only file
system". I've tried numerous tricks as reported for the Ubuntu Live
CDs (in "rescue" mode) and they've all come up blank:

e.g.
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222

This gives me read-only access to NTFS (my apologies if this is a
no-brainer question... I've never had to deal with NTFS partitions
before).

How can I _write_ to the NTFS partition?

Thanks, Eric.
