Huh? Are we talking about the same thing? I'm talking about
the NTFS that Windows/NT and later versions puts on its
file-systems. I use an USB external disk with my M$ Laptop
and I have always been able to transfer data to/from
my machines using that drive. Now I can't. The drive it
writable under M$, but I can't even delete anything
(no permission for root) under Linux.
