Linux NTFS file system support

The goals of this project are: create a new Linux kernel driver for the NTFS file system (v1.2 and later 3.0), user space utilities (e.g. format, ntfs check, etc.) and a library to avoid code duplication and provide access to NTFS to other GPLed programs

NTFS-3G

The NTFS-3G driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS driver for Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, and NetBSD. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista file systems. Most POSIX file system operations are supported, with the ... [More] exception of full file ownership and access right support. [Less]

GParted

The GParted application is a graphical partition editor for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions. A disk device can be subdivided into one or more partitions. The GParted application enables you to change the partition organization on a disk device while preserving the contents of ... [More] the partitions. GParted uses GNU libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables. Several optional file system tools provide support for file systems not included in libparted. [Less]

TestDisk

TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery program! It was primarily designed to recover lost partitions, repair FAT/NTFS boot sector, NTFS MFT and Ext2/Ext3 superblock and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human ... [More] error (such as accidentally deleting your Partition Table). PhotoRec is a File Recovery program designed to recover lost files; including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks, CDRom and lost pictures from digital camera memory (thus, its Photo Recovery name). PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it can still find files even if your media's filesystem has been severely damaged or re-formatted (overwritten data, of course, can not be recovered). [Less]

Partclone

Partclone is a project like the well-known backup utility "Partition Image" a.k.a partimage. Partclone provide utilities to back up used blocks and design for higher compatibility of the file system using supported library like e2fslibs.

partedmagic

Optimized at approximately 40MB, the Parted Magic OS employs core programs of VisParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Partition Image, TestDisk, fdisk, sfdisk, dd, ddrescue, etc.) and an excellent set of documentation to benefit the ... [More] user. An extensive collection of fileystem tools are also included, as Parted Magic supports the following: ext2, ext3, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, reiser4, and xfs. [Less]

debian-win32-installer-loader

The Debian Installer Loader runs on most releases of Windows. It will allow you to run the netboot (or netinst) image of Debian to install Linux side by side Windows. No CD, USB or Floppies are needed. All that is required is an internet connection. The Loader will download the current Linux ... [More] kernel, initrd (ramdisk image). It also installs grub into the Windows boot loader (ntldr or bootmgr; chainloaded). Automatic 32bit (x86) and 64 bit detection decide which kernel and initrd is best to use. After you install and reboot, a new menu option "Debian Installer" appears, from which you can launch D-I. The current copies of D-I offer partition resizing, so your ext2/3, FAT32, or NTFS partition can be resized to make room for Debian. After it's done, you'll have a "side by side" installation of Debian with Windows.

backstar

an automatic backup/restore system linux based. Backstar linux (will) be able to : autoresize existing partition autocreate backup a Linux/Windows partition (locally/remotely) revert to previously saved image

fastfind

This utility searches for files in an NTFS filesystem by directly reading the Master File Table thus achieving high speed. Screen shot:
