As I understand no Linux OS can safely write to ntfs. If you want a shared partition make it fat32. I run Xandros alone as a server- then make shares for my windows machines.

To download from Debian
1. open up Xandros Networks.
2. Go to Edit and select "Set Application Sources"
3. What you will currently see selected is "Xandros distribution site", but select "Debian unsupported site" too and click OK
4. Once you hit OK, Xandros networks will begin getting info of packages. You will see a progress bar. Eventually that progress bar will stall and you will think it's not working. The solution to this is to cancel after you're tired of waiting. Then close Xandros Networks. Reopen Xandros Networks. Then close it one more time and then reopen it. Now you can search for programs in debian unsupported.
Remember to unselect Debian unsupported after you're done searching or installing a program in Xandros Networks.
You can also add these application sources to Xandros Networks.
deb
http://www.archlug.org/apt xandros3 archlug
deb
http://www.archlug.org/apt xandros3 boylinux
deb
http://www.archlug.org/apt xandros3 zzupp
deb
http://www.xandros.or.id/archive xxx main
If you download from one of the above sources, have debian unsupported enabled.
After you're done with Xandros Networks, remember to unclick the other sources and only leave "Xandros distribution site" enabled.
Wow thanks for the info. And very cool for only your second post. Welcome to AT.
