My first drive is a 500GB Windows drive. My second drive has a 420GB ntfs partition, 10GB fat32 partition, and 36GB linux. I created the FAT-32 partition to share files between Linux and Windows. However, it would be pretty handy to enable linux to at least read NTFS files.

I've heard ntfs-3g is still questionable for writing files to NTFS on 64-bit, so I'm hesitant to allow write access. However, for simply reading NTFS, do you recommend kmod or ntfs-3g? Neither can screw my NTFS up if they are only set to read-only, right?

If you are concerned about restricting write access then use the
the kmod-ntfs from livna
