As a second question, is there any easy way to make the Linux machine 
'see' the windows partition on its own hard drive, so as to transfer 
files etc.

The following worked for me on ntfs partitions (w2k).

    mkdir /mnt/windows

    Using your favorite text editor (gedit or whatever) edit /etc/fstab to add the following line:

    /dev/hde1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0

Note that it mounts ntfs partition read only.
