In fact at this stage the linux kernel is ok to talk to NTFS so you will be able to see your windows partition in GNU/Linux if you are so inclined.
Linux does not really have much to do with the NTFS partition, and it will almost certainly be on another partition type (such as ext2 or reiserfs) - and the same is true forr Windows on the NTFS partition, the two systems are separate so they don't really care what they are on, or what else is on there with them.
sajjadc, their is NTFS support. You can read NTFS drives, and writing is supported but very experimental.
Read what the kernel options says. Also check out this FAQ and maybe you will get a better grasp of what is going on wtih regards to NTFS support and linux.
Umm ... when you say "convert" ... you realise that changing the format on a partition will nuke the partition (although XP is capable of upgrading a partition) ... it isn't really a dead certain activity.

Yes, that's what I meant. I'm going to upgrade my FAT windoze partition to NTFS. I have Linux installed and it's working perfectly with GRUB but if the windoze partition refuses to boot up after I upgrade to NTFS at least I'll know why.
