Writing to Windows C:

Borgschulze · 12-28-2004, 05:00 PM

Ok, so I have SuSE 9.2 Pro running so I can fix my Windows that broke and get the feeling of Linux.

My question is, I am downloading some files in Windows and I can't write the data to the C: with Azureus Bittorrent client, It's all setup and it downloads fine, but when it tries to cache to C: it will give me an error that it wasn't able to write to C:

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.

Linux does not yet support writing to NTFS partitions... which I assume you are using... It reads just fine, but writing has to be enabled in a recompiled kernel and is still very dangerous as you run the risk of destroying your windows partition... in other words.. DON"T DO IT!

What is actually wrong with XP? What is it doing/not doing when you try to boot into it?
