Captive-ntfs

[Whelan, Paul]

Hmmm, never thought of that as dangerous, but that's just me I guess. I've been doing that for years. I also put linux into hibaernate (software-suspend) and boot xp when I need to. 
I don't have any problems with captive when writing to a non-suspended partition.

You hibernate XP and then boot Linux?  That seems very dangerous to
me. 

I've been successful modifying a WinXP file (happened to be the SAM
file) using Captive-NTFS when booted from a recent Knoppix CD.
