I could read the Windows partition fine, but whenever I wrote to it from Linux, Windows could not read the files and told me to run chkdisk. Linux could read the same files just fine. Solution: By default, Mandrake loads the Windows file system with the options: " iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 " The "iocharset=iso8859-1" is the default according to the man page for 'mount', so there is no reason to include it. But the default codepage is 437, not 850. I removed these options from the appropriate line in /etc/fstab and remounted the filesystem with just: " umask=0 " No more "corruption". Windows and Linux can both read the files now. Hope that helps someone out there! -Vince Editor's note: This thread was originally posted at the old MUB (Mandrake User Board at club-nihil).
