Hmmm,
I booted off the liveCD on a win2000 machine. first I did

sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda that is a minus and the letter L

It showed one NTFS partition /dev/hda1 then I did

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

It mounted. Read only but that is what distros offer. I was able to copy files from the /mnt/hda1 to my home directory.

Hey guys, so howwww doooooo we mount RW from within DSL? Is it possible, as simple as saying something like:

mount /dev/sde1 -t ntfs /tmp rw

?

It is not possible from DSL or any other distro at this time.
The module to RW is still experimental. The developers are saying use at your own risk with a 99% chance that it will ruin the NTFS.

Probably the better way is through the network via a smb/cifs mount. Currently as of 0.4.10 that is not on the CD. But if you are HD installed then you could add the pkg smbfs.
