If you want to write to an NTFS partition, use Windows. The NTFS drivers
for Linux have very restricted capabilities for writing, as explained
at: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html#3.2
If you want to share data between installations of Linux and Windows on
the same machine, use a FAT32 partition rather than NTFS.
