For now, I'm useless. But after Christmas I'll be installing Linux and XP, and I'll want to mount my drive. I know there is a project somewhere on sourceforge that is working to put NTFS support into Linux, but I'm not sure if that one operates as a daemon or if it requires a recompile. I did recomplie my kernel once, for some reason, and I think it succeeded. Not that I remember what I did. *shrugs*

If you haven't figured it out in a while, I'll be more useful once I get my hands dirty.
