I'm trying to mount my windows partiton to be accessible to Linux. I followed the NHF on it.
Howver, in the end it let me know that it won't work with NTFS. So is it just my kernel, or am I screwed as long as I have Win2k?

No, you can mount NTFS partitions, you just have to enable NTFS in the kernel; depending on your distro, the module may already be available so you might try 'modprobe ntfs' first off. Otherwise you'll need to compile a fresh kernel with either Read-Only NTFS support and/or Read-Write NTFS support.

Check the Kernel NHF and linuxdoc.org for more details.
