Hi David, I'm sure you could get ntfs-3g working AND have r/w access. Maybe post your /etc/fstab entry that mounts it. If you have it installed this will probably be less work than installing anything other -- besides you find some solution that has other features etc.

What I mean is that my rescue CD doesn't have ntfs-3g, so it won't recognize it.
One of my ntfs entries looks like this (I'm stuck running windows at the moment)
Code:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/Windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
How can I create a Slax cd? I think that is what I wanna do.
gid=103 is for the group who gets read write permissions
and added my username to that group
then a bit changed directory and file masks
so that not eveyithing is executable in the /win directory

An alternative to Slax could be Knoppix, if you are somehow familiar with this. Version 5.2 with ntfs-3g is not officially available from the Knoppix mirrors, but it's available via bittorrent. A google search reveals some sources for this.
Knoppix might be "overkill" though because it's a quite big DVD iso image.
