This is an FAQ and there needs to be something "official" that explains
this...

There are several reasons why it failed.  Basically, it is because windows
does not understand what a unix filesystem is all about.

I am in the process of writing a mini-HOWTO about this very topic.  You can
see the current draft of it at the the link you'll find on this page:

http://www.sci.usq.edu.au/staff/nugent/linux/

It'll answer a lot of your questions and get you going on how to do it
right.

There's also some good information at this URL:

http://www.ajusd.org/~edward/fix-rhcd/

(I'll be soon be incorporating some of what's on this page into my own
document).

Cheers
Tony
