Can't myself shed any light, and I see that others are answering your
question with ntfs info.
However, if all else fails, and depending on the size of the partitions
in question, you might be able to format one of them as fat32, copy the
files over, then boot into Windows and use the convert command to ntfs.
C:\Documents and Settings\User1>convert /?
Converts FAT volumes to NTFS.
CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V]
volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
/FS:NTFS Specifies that the volume to be converted to NTFS.
/V Specifies that Convert should be run in verbose mode.
