[Novalug] [Ma-linux] OT: Need help repairing W2K box

[Jay Hart]

Got the first part of this solved (hopefully), now what boot disk can I use to
get a NTFS filesystem mounted read-write?  Right now I can only mount it
read-only. Not much help right now with only that.  Toms root boot disk don't
think will help me out here.
