Declan, I finally solved the problem. When linux try to see the windows
partition it detected just 3Gb instead of 15; 3Gb!, just the windows used
space. I started to suspect that the problem could arised form problems in
the windows partitions; started windows, started Scandisk and Bingo!, lots of
problems.
After that Scandisk had repaired the errors, I turned again on linux and no
more problems to write in windows partitions from linux.
An Advertisment to Bill Gates:
If you like be sure your harddisk are OK, run linux and try to acced to them;
Bill, you need to have linux installed on yours pc :-)
It is unacceptable that windows didn't detect fails in the harddrives; you
can lose lot of vital information because windows can write in bad sectors or
on a corrupted system, and you will know that to late!!!!
Thanks for your help

Try 'lsmod' and see what modules you're using. There was an issue that win =
95
used a vfat32 file structure, but windoze 98 used vfat32x or some such. If =
you
didn't reformat your windoze drive before installing '98 but did afterwards=
, it
would change format. I don't know when it was solved, but it's something to
check.
