A company called Tuxera has announced that they've developed software (drivers, etc.) for Windows CE that will allow it to access (read/write) NTFS-formatted devices. They made the announcement in January but I don't see yet that it's been released to the public.

The Web site is: http://www.tuxera.com/. If you're really interested in using an external NTFS drive it may be worth contacting them about availability/expected release date.

So then the deal is, it has to be formatted to FAT32, not NTFS?
