Thank you Anton. But the partition on which I want to write from linux doesn't have any OS on it, just it is formatted in NTFS. It is actually my data drive. And as it doesn't have any OS on it mandrake mounts it in 'rw' mode automatically everytime unlike XP and 2000 partitions which are mounted in read only mode. But I don't know why can't I still write on that partition. Do I have to convert it to FAT32?
