Hi Bob,
Unfortunately this is the read/only version of NTFSDOS (that's why
it's free). They have NTFSDOS Professional which is included with
the Winternals Administrator's Pak (also includes ERD Commander
2003).
I have used NTFSPRO (on a floppy) and it works fine. Now I remember
that the NTFSDOS program I have is really read/only. As I said earlier
the only cheap read/write program for NTFS is Paragon Mount
Everything.
In an emergency if someone wants to borrow my NTFSPRO I can e-mail
to you (but you have to return it when through, LOL).
