hello! i heard that there is ntfs-linux driver which can access ntfs through linux with read and read & write mode. i couldn`t set it up, because of some errors i got in the console, but maybe there is another way - running on mandrake 9.0

although you can write with ntfs support, it is not recommended. use it only to read from ntfs partitions.

I would suggest using Partition Magic 8.0 to create a separate partition that is FAT32 and use that as a sharing partition between the 2 OS's that you can read and write to. Not a good idea to write to the NTFS partition.

I use Justins suggestion and think it it is a good safe, secure way to pass info, yet keep your partitions secure.

If you just want to pull files from the drive (not write to it) you can compile NTFS filesystem support in your kernel then type:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdXY /mnt/NTFS
X=drive Y=partition
Just mount it like any other file system, I compiled it in so I could download using Kazaa but still access them (read-only) using Linux.
