[Samba] Can Samba write to NTFS disk on separate machine?

[Larry Alkoff]

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.
