Linux Drivers for NTFS filesystem
Jan Kratochvil: Captive: NTFS filesystem, MS-Windows NT kernel emulation
A new project promises complete read write compatibility with NTFS partitions. Red Hat, Debian and Mandrake supported. Looks like it might work, haven't tested it yet. Claims to use MFST ntfs.sys driver so may be the closest thing at this point.
Captive: NTFS filesystem, MS-Windows NT kernel emulationThe first full read/write free access to NTFS disk drives was achieved in the Wine way by using the original Microsoft Windows ntfs.sys driver. It emulates the required subsystems of the Microsoft Windows kernel by reusing one of the original ntoskrnl.exe, ReactOS parts, or this project's own reimplementations, on a case by case basis.

I have done this also, but I'm having troubles with long running mounts, especially user mounts (I want to be able to use the disk when logged in as a normal user). The system gets slow and consumes a lot of resources.
When used carefully it is the best alternative yet.
I downloaded the .deb files and tested it. It definitely works! I already had XP Home Edition on another partition so I didn't need the service pack to get the ntfs.sys and support files.
I then opened the SAM file with chntpw and modified the Administrator password and rebooted to verify that I could log on as the Administrator after changing the password; it did work.
