minor point, but you can take an ntfs partition from one machine to another 
just fine if you havent set any permissions on that drive.  if you have set 
any permissions, depending on what you set, sometimes  you have to take 
ownership and clear permissions, then reset them to the values you want.  i 
have yet to run into any problems migrating a drive from one windows box to 
another as long as the new box was the same version of windows or a newer 
version.  im not sure what write issues you are talking about when it comes 
to a windows box and ntfs, as ive certainly never ran into any that werent 
related to hardware issues or couldnt be fixed with a permissions reset.

i cannot comment on linux ntfs write support, ive never looked that much 
into it.  i have used it successfully in the past, but that was for some 
minor things like deleting a virus offline or making a backup copy of some 
data offline.

havent read the rest of your report, looking forward to it.  for now im 
running out to help a friend celebrate their 21st bday....
