NTFS write mode is experimental and may corrupt your NTFS partition. Use it at your own risk.
Search the forums for NTFS to find out more info.

Some more information is located at the folowing link: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/

I strongly agree with Underscore's comments and that you take a substantial risk of corrupting your drive if you attempt to write to an NTFS partition using anything other than Windows or a Windows based tool or program. Micro$oft and NTFS does not play well with others.

The following is from the Knopper.net page corresponding to Knoppix located here: http://knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

*)A free (GPL) NTFS write support is currently under development. Experimental-friendly testers may find the corresponding tools and instructions for accessing rw-mounts of NTFS-Partitions, on the DVD (use at your own risk).
