If you have a mixed environment where you need Windows to access your external hard disk, you might as well format it with a FAT filesystem. Linux supports FAT natively, without making you jump through burning loops. If you don't know how to achieve this, here's how : 1) Backup all your data. 2) Given your external disk is /dev/sda, launch fdisk, delete the NTFS partition and create a single FAT partition (hex code 0b). 3) Install 'dosfstools' and format your disk : # mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 4) From now on, mount your disk as FAT : # mount [-t vfat] /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk Cheers, Niki Kovacs
