There are different ways of doing this. For example, if you are dual
booting, that is, running Linux and Windows on the same machine, once
you have booted into Linux, writing to a Windows NTFS partition might be
problematic. (I haven't followed this conversation too closely, but it
seems as if that's what's being discussed.)
However, writing over a network is a different thing, In that case, you
are using Samba, a program designed to allow to MS and Unix or Unix like
systems to see each other. In that case, it's quite straightforward,
save for various exceptions.
If I might make a suggestion, although few people on this list do it,
it's far easier to follow threads if you use inline posting, rather than
posting at the top of the message. That is, answer paragraph A below
paragraph A, paragraph B below paragraph B. It also gives you a far
better chance of having the more experienced Linux folks read your
post--many of the busier ones will simply see that it's top posted, and
feel if you don't have the time to make your post readable to them, they
don't have the time to give you an answer.
Note that I'm only daring to suggest this because I am giving you an
answer to your question.

Sounds thrilling. And M.I.T. is a clearasil ad with housing, and Yale
