I actually want to do it the "hard" way...just less hard than it could possibly be. I mean sure, before I monkey with captive I save any important data so I'm not in danger of loosing anything other than the time I'd have to invest to attempt the cleaning and/or reinstall. It's not a truly critical machine so I am free to play with it somewhat.

At any rate, risking the standard HK numbered response, what's the current "best" way to write to an NTFS partition via Knoppix? I only ask because I have thusfar had good luck with captive but I do feel the lightning seeking me out...

As always, thanks,
