Dear Thomas,
This source of such article is a post from reboot.pro (http://reboot.pro/topic/20149-ntfs-now-supported-in-reactos-livecd/) where I report this progress and ask for help.
On ReactOS website, you don't have such strong report, but the piece of information exists, spread in various places. People started talking about it on boards a few days ago. You have a short report about it in the latest ReactOS developer meeting minutes (https://www.reactos.org/node/909). And finally, the commits made on NTFS where kind of explicit about the progresses (coming along with pictures: https://git.reactos.org/?p=reactos.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit...]).
Note that the 0.3.17 release has initial, but not full (release process was started before everything could be developed) NTFS support. Testing from trunk is then the preferred method.
Cheers,

Thanks for the link!
I can see why, in a developing OS or application, following trunk would be the indicated method.
Problem is I have no hard-drive space (actually I do, but it's GPT-partitioned).
I really would like something readable and writable, like USB stick, as opposed to live CD.
I have an old IDE hard drive, no IDE on motherboard, use that hard drive in a Sabrent enclosure with USB 2.0.
Sabrent enclosure also has eSATA, but that works only with SATA hard drive, not IDE.
