Unless things have advanced since I last tried this, Linux cannot write to 
NTFS. If you need a partition that both Linux and Windows can write to, FAT16 
or FAT32 are your best choices. 

You can transfer the files by other means, like copying them to a floppy disk 
or CDR, or getting really geeky and using Samba. :)
