ianw1974 Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah no problems, Linux can access NTFS partitions, but it cannot write to them. At least, not in the conventional manner. If you want to be able to save to the partition, convert it to FAT32 (you will need Partition Magic to do this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
