samba - Apr 2006 - Can Samba write to NTFS disk on separate machine?

I am required to setup a Windows XP Professional machine on an 80 gig 
SATA drive and would like to format the entire drive with NTFS.

Is is possible to use Samba 3.0.20 on a Linux machine (Slackware 10.2) 
to read and _write_ files to the XP machine?

This would save me having to both a NTFS and FAT32 partition on the XP 
machine.

yes just set the permissions on the windows XP directory properly and 
then in linux do mount -t cifs "//xpmachine/share" /mnt/point -o
