Easy way to install NTFS support for Read/Write Windows XP Partition

To enable read/write support on NTFS volume, you could install "ntfs-3g" and "ntfs-config" :

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config # install everything including ntfs-3g

sudo ntfs-config # this command starts the NTFS configuration GUI, you could also find the icon inside the applications - system tools

Below are some example of a mounted NTFS volume (USB disk drive) :

thartono@thartono-linux:~$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/sdc1 39062012 38934512 127500 100% /media/New Volume # this is the USB Disk with NTFS filesystem. The utilization is 100% because it's full (not because of an error)

thartono@thartono-linux:~$ mount

/dev/sdc1 on /media/New Volume type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)
# the filesystem is displayed as fuseblk
