I have a problem: On my computer I have instaled Windows XP an Mandrake linux 10.0.
When I am in linux I can't make any changes on the windows partition because is read-only!
Can anyone help me how to fix this problem????
Your Windows partition will be of file type NTFS. There is only experimental (i.e. dangerous) write support for NTFS in the linux kernel. Most people advise against using it.
Most people would also make an FAT32 partition, which can be read without problems by both Windows and Linux.
