Yes, you can. Based on my experience, it will work just fine. In fact, I have used the following setup on an NTFS filesystem:

C:\knx.382.iso
C:\knoppix.img
C:\knoppix.swp

Booted from the CD with boot: knoppix bootfrom=/dev/hda1/knx.382.iso and all worked well. Knoppix recognized the image file and swap file. From what I understand, writing to NTFS works as long as you don't add/remove a file or change the size of an existing file. BTW, this was using Knoppix v3.8.2. Don't know if this setup will work with other versions.

Give it a shot and let us know. Just be sure to make a backup of your NTFS drive, just in case.
