I tried the ntfs-3g at home on my Ubuntu install. It seems to work,
having changed fstab, with this interesting footnote: Ubuntu won't mount
the Windows partition when it's hibernating, only when it has been
completely shut down. (Got an error message about Windows not shutting
down properly, when I tried to mount it manually after it hadn't mounted
on a reboot.) When you think about it, this makes sense. It wouldn't do
for the HDD to be different from what XP expects when it comes out of
hibernation.
