Linux supports reading ntfs just fine, but writing it is a little more
iffy. There is support, but it is *experimental* because ntfs is a
moving target and Microsoft in there infinite wisdom may change it in a
way which breaks the support at any time. At least this is the
impression I got from researching this a while back. So I guess using
ntfs write support is at your own risk. You could always create a fat32
partition somewhere where windows and linux can share data. That's not
ideal, but then again you'll probably discover that neither is duel
booting. One system tends to get used while the other remains unbooted
for months. What exactly you are doing determines which OS is which.

HTH and happy new year
