Dear friends:

This should be a pretty simple question. I think I know the answer but would 
appreciate an expert's confirmation:

I have a dual-boot LM 8.0/Win2000Pro system. My Win2000Pro uses the NTFS File 
System. That means, of course, that Linux can READ NTFS files on my Win2000 
partition but NOT write to them.

Unfortunately, I forgot this fact when I decided to copy a bunch of files as 
a backup from Linux to Win2000. I used Konqueror, my File Manager, to copy 
these files from their Linux directories to the /mnt/windows partition. 
Konqueror proceeded to "copy" them. But when I went to /mnt/windows, the 
Linux directory that I copies and its files were, obviously, not there since 
Linux cannot write to /mnt.windows.

My question: What happened to this directory and files? Since they could not 
be written to the /mnt/windows partition, did they just vanish into 
cyberspace thin air? Or was the whole operation essentially cancelled by 
Konqueror? Just wondering.

Thanks so much for your help.

Benjamin
