This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.                                                                               │
                                                                                                                                                    │
The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without                                                                                 │
changing the file length.  No file or directory creation, deletion or                                                                               │
renaming is possible.  Note only non-resident files can be written to                                                                               │
so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot                                                                                &#9474;
be written to.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have                                                                                 &#9474;

Note:  While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from                                                                                  &#9474;
