Ntfs-3g

Ntfs-3g is a stable ntfs driver for linux,android mac os and other operating system.The ntfs-3g is an open source cross platform implementation of the Microsoft windows ntfs file system with read or write support.Thus is provides safe handling of the windows ntfs file system.

A base linux system cannot handle ntfs system on its own and requires third party drivers like the ntfs-3g.
The  stable version of the ntfs-3g can be downloaded form the the website http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/

Once installed sucessfully the ntfs-3g can be used to mount devices but the command

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows


where windows is a valid device.That is one has to make sure that /mnt/windows do 
exist.
