Thanks David, I have both types of partition NTFS and FAT32. I normally keep Windows on the NTFS partition and and Lin-Win transferable data (i.e read and write) on the FAT32.
The fdisk -l output is below: Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 58140 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 16432 8281476 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 16432 38708 11227293+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda3 38709 58140 9793728 83 Linux /dev/hda5 16432 17388 481918+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 17388 37804 10289601 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda7 37805 38708 455584+ 82 Linux swap [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/rob # It is the hda5 one that I need full access to.
