The captive stuff might help you reading/writing from/to NTFS partitions. My last try (dealing with small files, about one year ago) was a bit disappointing though, because of the *poor* disk throughput and a obvious memory leaks. A newer release might be available fixing these issues: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ As it's probably worth givin it a try before partitioning, you can use with a live CD such as sysrescuecd, or even the lastest knoppix. Btw, bundled with CLAMAV or F-Prot, such a live-cd with read/write NTFS support is one of the best way to remove viruses from windows boxes. A french attempt in this direction is here : http://chronomium.com/. Even though the website is ugly, the ISO should work anyway. Have fun w/FC4. Aurel
