I'm not exactly sure what you mean that Linux cannot write to /mnt/windows. I do that all the time. When I was running NT and Libranet I compiled the kernel to read and write to NTFS. This is not recommended since NTFS gets really picky about what system writes to it, but nothing died, so I say, "Screw NTFS and what it likes writing to it." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin Sher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Expert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 6:32 AM Subject: [expert] Writing from Linux to Win-NTFS > Dear friends: > > I recently tried to copy a directory from LM 8.0 to /mnt/windows. > Unfortunately, my Windows (on my dual-boot) uses the NTFS file system and, > worse, I forgot this fact when I decided to copy the directory.
