How do I make my NTFS partition writable to linux?

I am running Linux (ubuntu) on its own partition. I have the windows partition mounted and can read and copy files from it. However, it is read-only. I want to be able to modify files in it and copy files into it.



What open-source software is there for ubuntu linux that will do this? How do I install it and make it work so that the NTFS partition is editable and mounted?How do I make my NTFS partition writable to linux?
http://www.ubuntux.org/ Microsoft's software is proprietary, meaning it's their property, you are just using it. They do not allow changes to their software. Edit: http://www.osloader.com/index.htmHow do I make my NTFS partition writable to linux?
Sorry Boss. I don't think so about to modify or make changes to the files.How do I make my NTFS partition writable to linux?
hi,one way out of it is to create a new FAT32 partition of about 5gig using a program such as PARTITION MAGIC,create this off your ntfs partition,in other words reduce the size of your NTFS partition by 5 gigs and make the 5gigs a FAT32 partition because linux can read and WRITE TO FAT 32,so therefore you could move your files back and forth through your FAT32 partition.get it? cheers.
Linux will not run in a ntfs partition. Perhaps your useing the ubunto bootable cd so its just running off the cd. try a disk partitioner such as bootit ng. It will let you resize the ntfs partition leaving room to format the rest of the disk to the linux format. And let you chose wich operating system you wish to boot at each startup.
