as WinNT and WinXP also uses. At the time of writing there was still a problem known as the SEH-Problem which prevents ReactOS from using these drivers. But when the SEH-Problem is solved some time, ROS will be able to load even native NTFS-drivers.
Not really true; we need to do lots of work still. It's on my plate, or anyone else is welcome to it.
Q: Can I help programming installable file system drivers? A: Yes, there's lots of work to do around IFS-drivers. It's however very hard to program. I like to say that programming dirvers is hard but programming file system dirvers is the king's discipline. If you are a real kernel hacker, come to our maling list and anounce yourself.
I am also happy to point you in the right direction. There is much to be done, as I said.

Just to be precise: what SEH problem are you referring to?
Borland or we have no SEH compliant compiler. I include that.
I don't think this is true any more; last I heard, there was an NTFS implementation for Linux that could write. Regardless, the big problems here will revolve around 100% bug-compatibility with the MS code.
Yes, it can write. But only on the same clusters. no reallocation is possible nor deletion of files. Or using the MS-ifs through a wrapper.
