yeah thanks - I figured that out last night and downloaded the filesystem driver, but here's another question....
I can now access winxp via root but not via my own account
and...
If I log in as root and try and change the file sharing options via KDE (right-click-properties) it gives me an error saying it couldn't change the attributes!
1. run terminal
2. logon as root (su -)
3. mkdir /mnt/winxp
4. mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp
5. added the following to /etc/fstab - /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs defaults 0 0
Now I this works fine if I'm logged in as root - eg. I can access my windows files OK.
But if I'm logged in as hayden the file in Konq has a padlock on it and It says in the console that I don't have enough permission to assess winxp.
If I log in as root and try and change the permissions for the file winxp using konq it says soimething like the "attributes for the file cannot be changed". Sorry I cant remember the exact wording because I have to reboot to windows to access the net (this will b the next issue as I have a laptop with a win modem! )
i fixed it by adding the umask command to the fstab. also masand, the ntfs filesystem is read only via linux so there is no worry about damaging anything.

Yep
There is write support in the new kernel ,but i dont think its wise to play with it, Its always better to create FAT32 partiton in Windows and mount it in linux,SO that you can read and write in both OS, (Like i do).
Could someone explain the mounting procedure for XP (NTFS) I think I know how to mount but am not sure what the "FSTAB" is? I am not quite a newbie anymore but still learning.
Thanks

For instance, how would I do the following:
5. added the following to /etc/fstab - /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs defaults 0 0
