'''Note:''' writing to NTFS partitions is considered experimental and at least some people think it very risky (see for example [http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81021 thread] and [http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42632 thread]).

Write NTFS
This page probably doesn't belong here and links to a fair bit of commerical software that does what the Linux NTFS and Captive driver do already. But it's roundup of NTFS drivers if you, for instance, wanted to start reverse-engineering multiple existing implementations... ahem.

Linux
Read:
[http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ linux-ntfs], old Linux driver, Free source
[http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ linux-ntfs], new Linux driver, Free source
[http://www.ntfs-linux.com/features.htm Paragon NTFS for linux] demo, $0 commerical binary, method unknown
Supplied as a self-extracting .exe containing a tarball. D'oh! (unzip works). Uses interface source-code + pre-compiled x86 library libufsd.a
Write:
[http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ captive], Free source, wraps and uses ntfs.sys
[http://www.ntfs-linux.com/features.htm Paragon NTFS for linux], $70 commerical binary, method unknown
- Presumbly read-write equivalent of above.
Resize:
- Partition Magic / PQDisk library, commerical (PQdisk is shipped with Xandros Delux at $60)
- Can resize/move contents
- ntfs-resize, Free source
- Seems to require a defragment of the disk from XP first (to move everything to the front of the disk), then it seems to adjust the bad-clusters and in-use bitmaps.
[http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/partitioning.html Acronis Partition Manager], $50 commerical binary
- Seems to be able to resize/move contents of NTFS
DOS
Read:
[http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfsdos.shtml NTFSDos], $0 distributable binary
Same functionality as the Linux driver: " Significant understanding of the NTFS file system layout was derived by studying the Linux-based NTFS driver code maintained by Martin von Loewis. We acknowledge his indirect contribution to this endeavor."
- Paragon Mount Everything Personal, $40 commerical binary
Write:
[http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfsdospro.shtml NTFSDosPro], commerical binary, wraps ntfs.sys
aka captive-for-dos: "The advantage NTFSDOS Professional has over NTFSDOS is that it relies on Microsoft's implementation of NTFS rather than our own information on the NTFS file-system layout."
- Paragon Mount Everything Professional, $150 commerical binary
Win 9x
