YES, you can read/write to your Windows partition while running Linux. One
of my best compliments to Linux is that it supports up to 17 filesystems at
last count.
My Linux system automatically mounts my Windows partition. It appears that
your Windows partition is already mounted as /mnt/DOS_hdc1. Use Kexplorer
and navigate to the /mnt/DOS_hdc1 directory. You should be looking at all
your windows files. BINGO!
HTH,
