read/write to NTFS

#1 Post by howardb21 » Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:50 pm

This seems like an abvious question, but here goes: There are several free toos to read and write to NTFS drives from dos. But I do not see any of them in the UBCD. Why not, and how DO you read/write to NTFS after booting with this disk? More generally, how does this disk handle the problem of different PCs having all kinds of different drivers for hardware?

Most of those tools that can read and/or write from/to NTFS are quite buggy.
Using a linux distro with ntfs-3g support (almost every distro has it), is the best way to access (read/write) NTFS filesystems.
You can use Parted Magic (included in UBCD) to do that.
