NTFS read and write support generally works. It's been quite a while
since an NTFS write has caused damage. In fact, even Mandrake and SuSe
(iirc) use NTFS write when it comes to partitioning drives during
installation. 

And yes, captive (http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/) uses
Windows tools directly to make things work really well. Haven't used
this.

So, I can attest to ntfs read/write to work[1].

partition :)
