Yes, I have win98 on /dev/hda1.

Yes, you probably talk about http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/
I never use it, feel free to write a tip if someone use it.
In the FAQ, they say to not write in NTFS partitions.
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html#3.2

For Russ Edwards:
For your problem, you can access your linux partition from Windows (I don't know your version),
I use explore2fs (http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm), it works great for read.
If you only want to backup some files, it's good.
