Another alternative might be mounting their Windows-formatted
drive from within a *nix-like OS. These permissions are usually
set via the /etc/fstab mounting options for the drive. I don't
remember what the defaults are, as I have mine set up to take a
forced set of uid/gid for users/groups specific to my system.
Because at least FAT32 doesn't have this idea of groups (mapping
to NTFS is an entirely different ball of wax), you can specify a
default mask for everything or specify the directory mask
separately from the file mask.
man mount
will give more details on such goods.
