During the installation and use of Windows 2000 you must be certain to make sure that you do not create NTFS 5 partitions. These partitions are different than NTFS 4 partitions and the NTFS driver for Linux will probably not recognize the partition.
The main feature of NTFS 5 is the ability to encrypt files. The encrypted files can only be opened by the person who created them or an administrator. The encryption uses the SID of the user to encrypt the files.
Also once you upgrade a partition to NTFS 5 it cannot be converted back to NTFS 4. If you are upgrading from NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 the installer will ask whether or not you want to upgrade your partitions.
