XP and Linux

[Michael Laccetti]

It all depends on the filesystem that your XP install uses.  Most likely, it
uses NTFS.  If it does, write-support isn't enabled from Linux.  From what I
remember, you must either compile write support in via a kernel module, or
some external tools.  Write support used to be a somewhat dangerous task,
this may have changed since I last used it.

Subject: [TLUG]: XP and Linux

I have XP and Linux (Mdk10) on my IBM ThinkPad. I can mount  the XP drives
on Linux and read the files. The XP is configured to share the files on the
network. The /etc/fstab is set for the XPdriveC as rw.
Is there a way to write files from Linux to XP ? From all the experimenting
I did so far I concluded that it cannot be done. Am I wrong??
