How? --Ben First, you can try forcing the partition to be mounted read-write. I think that NTFS partitions are probably mounted read-only by default, even if your system supports read-write. Just do mount -t ntfs -o rw /dev/hdXY /windows If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to recompile the kernel. Last I checked, support for that was marked as DANGEROUS. Linux doesn't handle file ownership and things like that in the same way that Windows does, so I'm pretty sure that after Linux mounts a partition, a flag is set that will force Windows to do a filesystem check when it's booted. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Can you buy an entire chess / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ set in a pawn shop? \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
