ok this is my first time using linux and I'm having a little trouble.

I run the 2.6 kernal so i can try to write to my NTFS drive. When ever I try to place a file there, it tells me there was an error writing to that drive. How can i make this work.

Second, Persistent Home. I created one on my other linux partition as an image. I didn't use the encryption thing. When i startup and try to access it, I am told it can not load it then I am asked for passwords and stuff. How can I fix this. (P.S I would rather store it on my NTFS drive as my linux one is kind of currupted.)

Thanks,
Ryan
