I am assuming that you meant MS Windows. WinDOS should never be able to
access a native Linux partition (ext2). At least, not the default
installation of WinDOS.

This might be related to the previous problem.

Hmmm... Looks like a permissions problem someplace. See if you have the
adduser (not useradd) command. If you do, run that.

Do an 'ls -l ~/.xclients' and send us the output. It looks like this file
does not have excecute permissions. You can make it executable by typing
'chmod a+x ~/.xclients'.
