Hi Guys,

thanks to everyone who emailed me about attempting to mount an NTFS partition from Linux.  Given the priorities at the moment with time, I think I'll give the NTFS drivers a wide berth until I can be confident it won't damage the NTFS system.  I haven't the disk space nor the time to create a new partition so I'll probably just continue booting into the appropriate OS for what I want to do for the time being.

thanks all
