One time I had problems to write windows FAT32 partitions because the partition had problems; I had to do an scandisk from windows, errors were repaired and again I could be able to write the windows partition from linux.

Re: [newbie] Write to windows partition?
Well, he states he can read the files so it is not NTFS. Root should be able to read and write, to do this as a user you need to edit the /etc/fstab entry. Can not help with that because I do not have Windows on my machine. man mount for details. The option, from memory, is umask=0. Or you could use user=nnn,umask=002 if you are the only one going to write to it. Or mess about with group ownership and permissions if you want more complicated control of access.

Re: [newbie] Write to windows partition?
Stephen was correct...from mdk, you can read files on an NTFS system (XP, in my case), but you cannot write to them. On the 'doz partition that I want to share between mdk and xp, I have set it as vfat (FAT32) and can read/write to it quite well with mdk.
