Mounting NTFS into Ubuntu

[James Bertelson]

You'll want to use ntfs-3g.  Note that it's still "experimental" but
pretty stable.  I've had no problems, large writes are a bit slow
though.

To install:
aptitude install ntfs-3g

then change your mount command to:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp -t ntfs-3g

Or add it to your /etc/fstab file to mount on boot with the line below:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
