OK, no problem :) I _think_ the Windows Recovery Console trick should have succeeded. But the Captive NTFS way could have resulted loss data. I've never used this new way of accessing NTFS (I'm not even sure it's legal) but things looked promising ... until this weekend when several people using Windows 2000 and Captive NTFS reported data loss. Jan released a fix, we will see how it works. If Captive NTFS were reliable then it could be useful for additionally testing Linux-NTFS code (no need to reboot, start/buy VMWare, etc).
