Just a word of caution. Linux will read and write to all the windows
files, but it will only do so as root because the entire windows drive
has the permissions set by default to root on everything. This is not
the case with NT, only Win 3.11, 95, 98. I find that if I keep flipping
back and forth between an Xterm as regular user and a consol screen
(using mc as root user and as a file manager) I have no trouble doing
anything I want with all of my file systems on all of my drives.
