This project implements the first full read/write free access to NTFS disk drives.
You can mount your Microsoft Windows NT, 200x or XP partition as
a transparently accessible volume for your GNU/Linux.

This compatibility was achieved in
the Wine way by using the original
Microsoft Windows ntfs.sys driver. It emulates the required subsystems of
the Microsoft Windows kernel by reusing one of the original
ntoskrnl.exe, ReactOS parts, or
this project's own reimplementations, on a case by case basis.
Project includes the first open source MS-Windows kernel API for Free operating systems.
Involvement of the original driver files was chosen to achieve the best
and unprecedented filesystem compatibility and safety.

As opposed to other projects this is currently the only software supporting the full
read/write access including the possibility to create/delete files, modify directories
etc.
