When installing dual boot with FAT /FAT32 on the Windows partition, it is safe to boot to linux, mount the windows partition (as vfat) , than create files on the Windows partition, delete files on the linux partition, etc.
I gave up trying to access NTFS from Linux a couple of years ago, when I found that even *read* access was unreliable (the propaganda from the rabid Linux supporters notwithstanding). I found that file names were unreliable, and I do not mean the standard issue of NTFS being case preserving, but case ignoring. I mean like control characters getting stuck into file names. Since the file names were not reliable, I didn't check further into data integrity.
