I read a while back that you could use the windows NTFS driver under linux.

See: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
However readingh details at 
http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/doc/Details.html.pl
reveals limitations that perhaps make it unsuitable for real use

Or you can pay for commercial support: http://www.ntfs-linux.com/
but I dont know how well it would work under coLinux, the source not 
being available.

I think the parent is right, use sambauntil hostfs support is provided.
