The NTFS file system is supported in Linux by both a kernel module and several userspace programs. It is not supported as a root file system and is not recommended for permanent file storage.
Under Windows I believe the only file system with full support for this is NTFS. On the Mac its standard HFS+ file system has always supported this. On Unix and Linux all native file systems supported this.
The first file system Linux supported was the MINIX file system.
NetBSD, Windows, and Linux each support both FAT and NTFS file systems.
If you are talking about accessing the partition from Linux, the kernel file system driver does not allow writing to NTFS partitions. You can write to the partition in Linux if you install the NTFS-3G file system. This is the only form of "write-protection" that should be on your system.
NTFS is the predominant file system although FAT is supported on XP.
NTFS read support has been in the kernel since 2.2. 2.6.0 supports read / write operations.
Windows XP natively supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS. Other file systems, such as HPFS, JFS, ext2/3, and ReiserFS can be supported through an IFS (Installable File System).
Yes, NTFS (New Technology File System) can support dual booting, as it is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows and some Linux distributions. However, while Windows natively supports NTFS, many Linux distributions may require additional drivers or configurations to read and write to NTFS partitions. It's important to ensure that the bootloader used for dual booting can recognize and manage the NTFS file system properly. Overall, dual booting with NTFS is feasible, but compatibility considerations should be taken into account.
FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS.
NFTS stands for the New Technology File System. Windows 7 still uses the NTFS as a file system.
There is plenty of software which allows Linux to work with NTFS file system. For windows there is not as much. But I think Acronis "Backup and Recovery" allows you to read Linux file systems under windows.
ntfs is probably the best
