FWIW -
I tried accessing an ntfs partition via my Mandrake 8 install and some thing
wound up corrupting the partition so that I was able to read it from linux
but win2k no longer recognized it's own partition...
I decided htat if I wanted access to my files on the win partition that It
would have to be fat32. Since I re-installed with a fat32 partition I have
had noproblems writing files as well...

A drug is neither moral nor immoral-it's a chemical compound.
The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human
being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license
to act like an asshole.
