Careful though, because while you can convert a FAT32 partition to NTFS
while it contains data, you can't do the reverse. You will have to
format the partition, losing all data, therefore you'll have to copy
your data to another drive in the interim.

Thanks folks for all your inputs. I guess the easiest option for me is
to convert the required Windows (Win XP) drives to Fat32.

Linux cannot, at this stage, write (reliably, without the

partition to share data use either FAT or FAT32.
Alternatively investigate the 'Captive' project.
