Do remember though that as far as I know NTFS writing is still experimental, as should any reverse engineered writing operations be to an undocumented file system. If the data on those drives is at all valuable then I would consider other methods ( NTFSDOS Professional perhaps, but that has it's own limitations )

This was on slashdot ages ago.... it achieves ntfs write support using wine-esque methods... and according to their home page works... although I haven't tried it... and I'm not aware of any livecd that ships with it :-)
