Captive ntfs allows you to write to a windows partition. For example: you have another partition with windows (dual boot) it will allow you to write to it. Recent versions allow you to read it.
Captive ntfs uses parts of Wine to emimulate the drivers. It requires a couple of windows drivers -one which is ntfs.sys.
 
in the same machine NO, if your running windows and have a drive available thats setup with linux partitons that ARE NOT windows compatible then NO you cant access them from windows, however if that linux install is on UMDOS or FAT32 or any other windows FS then yes you could access it from windows.

Linux can read NTFS but writing is iffy at best, but linux can read/write to anything else including apple file systems
 
you can access your windows partition from windows... i don't know what everyones saying. you just have to mount it.
 
or you could just use mount to mount the shares from linux ;)

<edit>woah, didnt notice there was another page please disregard the above statment.</edit>

You have to mount the filesystems in linux using the 'mount' command. Just search in google, and there should be 1000's of tutorials for mounting windows drives or even you can search in this forums...

Actually to access windows from linux over a LAN the best way is SAMBA which basically sets up a network neighborhood type deal that windows has tween windows machines.Windows DOES NOT come with a telnet server or FTP server built in, linux does.

Windows has networking handicaps cause its not a multiuser system so microsoft never had to deal with it.
