Thanks Steve! Haven't seen you in a while.

I looked up ntfs-3g but have not drawn any conclusions.

I need this disk to backup files from Windows XP and then be able to
access and edit them in the future from both Windows XP and Debian.

To build my NTFS file system I ran the command:

# mkntfs -L "XP" "/dev/sdf1"

What command would you have run to get ntfs-3g?

I don't mind rebuilding the file system.
