Well, he states he can read the files so it is not NTFS. Root should be able to read and write, to do this as a user you need to edit the /etc/fstab entry. Can not help with that because I do not have Windows on my machine.

"man mount" for details.

The option, from memory, is umask=0.
Or you could use user=nnn,umask=002 if you are the only one going to write
to it.
Or mess about with group ownership and permissions if you want more
complicated control of access.

I've installed ML 9.0 onto (Dell GX1 desktop system) it's own EXT2 partition

From Linux I am able to read the files on the /windows/ partition _but_ cannot edit anything ;-(

How do I get it set up so I have 'write' permission to everything on the /windows/ partition?

Many thanks for any help you can provide,

Assuming you're accessing everything "Windows" via /mnt/win_c - you
can't edit ANYTHING at all? What version of Windows were you running?
Because if you were running anything NT based with NTFS, you're not
going to be able to - but if you're running under FAT or VFAT, you can
edit/save/modify anything - just that the executable bit is set on all
files...but that's generally not a hassle...
