Mounting NTFS with full support

Now the drivers are copied, you can mount any NTFS partition, even if it does not have windows installed on:

 # mount.captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/win

Now, you must be able to write file on the mounted partition:

 # cd /mnt/win
 # touch creating-an-empty-file
 # cp -a /path/to/a/directory /mnt/win

Of course, you will have to unmount this partition when finished to work on:

 # cd / ; umount /mnt/win
