[Eug-lug] Linux Partition < ---> Windows Partition Communications Beakdown

[horst]

Up till recently I would have suggested, as others did before, to have a 
FAT32 file system mounted (as partition, or additional HD, or USB key). 
Many disk utils refer to it as Win95 FAT32 (or something like this).
  You can make your life easier by telling /etc/fstab to mount it at boot, 
as R/W with appropriate permissions for all users, to a mount point 
(subdirectory) in $HOME --then you have it at your fingertips right at 
boot.

HOWEVER -- I just saw that Knoppix 5.1.1
  http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix51-en.html
includes   NTFS-3G Read/Write Driver
  http://www.ntfs-3g.org/

Third-party R/W utilities for NTFS have been around for some time, but 
considered somewhat risky. However, if the leading Live-CD distro includes 
it I'll give it a try.
I am downloading the .iso (CD) as I am typing this....
