Without any indication of what error messages etc. you are getting, it's
only possible to guess. I'd imagine that it's because by default the
win98 filesystem is mounted by root and as such all files will appear to be
owned by root. As a normal user you will not then be able to write to the
windows filesystem.
Probably the best solution to this problem is to create a new group
whose members will be those userids that can write files to the win98
paritition. Then mount the win98 partition specifying the new group
with the "gid" option and a umask option to make the win98 filesystem
group-writable.
