Stephen was correct...from mdk, you can read files on an NTFS system (XP, in my case), but you cannot write to them. On the 'doz partition that I want to share between mdk and xp, I have set it as vfat (FAT32) and can read/write to it quite well with mdk.
[OTOH, 'Doz don't speaka-da-*nix, so it has no idea that mdk is also on the same box. <vbg>] On Sun, 2002-12-08 at 17:32, Dale Kosan wrote: > Well, he states he can read the files so it is not NTFS.
