Delete files from NTFS drive

[hebo]

Hello,

I have a Knoppix machine that I want to use to mount and clean hard drives with. Most of the HD's are NTFS. I want to be able to delete files from an NTFS hard drive, while saving everything else, when Knoppix is loaded. Is this possible?

Thanks.

with the experience i have had linux doesnt like NTFS filesystems so im thinking no

Its possible with knoppix 3.4 which has captibe-ntfs.

But since captive-ntfs needs to be configured for your paricular version of XP os/ptach, there is a bit of remastering involved.

step 1: During knoppix remastering process in the chroot environment you should do captive-install-acquire

step 2: Boot the remastered knoppix and from root shell do mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda(x) /mnt/hda(x)

step 3: Delete the files you dont need from /mnt/hda(x).

Is this the same method for writing files to NTFS?

I'm still having problems with Linux code so please bear with me while I learn up on what it means and how to use it (then I can find out without having to ask each time!)
