Apart from Windows XP, are there any free operating systems that support the NTFS file system?

The Linux operating system has read only support for NTFS. The NTFS-Linux project has achieved some limited NTFS write support. I wouldnt rely on this software for mission critical files, though. It is imperfect.
Ubuntu is a nice friendly version of Linux for beginners.
Both Linux and NTFS-Linux are free software, so you won't have to worry about money.

There is a free tools for Linux.
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-ntfs/
Other than that you have Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
I don't know what you are trying to do, but you can make bootable CD using the XP pre-installation environment with BartPE.

It can be useful if you just need to boot a computer to a CD and see what is on the drive.

Windows 2000/XP, NT, and Unix (and it's various flavours) have device drivers which allow it to access several different DOSes, including NTFS.

use linux. it is free and very stable. lots of applications are there.
some distributions like ubuntu support ntfs read. you can install the package on most of distributions like redhat, suse, fedora, debian , ...
reading from ntfs partitions is good, but the package for writing on a ntfs drive is still a little unstable. i suggest you use fedora core 5, or Ubuntu. they are now the most popular distros.

"ncaissie X-S Genius:
Windows XP supports NTSF but it defaults to Fat32.
You have to specify NTSF when you install windows. (XP Home version that is)
If you look at the properties of your C: drive it tells you right on the general tab.
If it is Fat32 you should have a tool in the properties that will let you convert the drive.
And it is drive specific not OS specific. XP will run on both formats."
