Why not define the NTFS partition with the Debian installer? The one with Woody (once sussed) allowed for a screenful and a half of different formats.
Within which I am guessing NTFS is most likely to be missing.
I'm pretty sure I saw it there.
NTFS write support was (maybe still is) very experimental and I wasn't even sure if it was possible to create a NTFS partition in Linux.
Certainly my Ubuntu machine doesn't seem to have the necessary mkfs.ntfs although Google says it does exist. I would be astounded if it came in the Debian installer.
If it was with Woody, it's sure to be in Sarge. I'll report back in due course.
