NTFS is by nature case-sensitive; it's the Win32 API to it that is case-insensitive. The NT POSIX subsystem running on top of the same NTFS filesystem is case-sensitive. NT FAT filesystems are a little funnier. Although the filenames are stored in case-sensitive fashion, I'm not sure if all of the filesystem implementation code is careful to handle it correctly.
