[NTL] chmod 777 /windows not enough?

[Sy]

Ok.. so what *is* this /windows.  Is it a directory or symbolic link?
We must be missing something somehow.

If your /windows is hda2, let's try this:

su
cd /home/chris
mkdir ./mnt/
chown chris ./mnt/
mount /dev/hda2 ./mnt/
exit

cd ~
touch ./testfile.tmp
cp ./testfile.tmp ./mnt/
rm ./mnt/testfile.tmp
