Unable to write to /windows/C from JDS
I recently had to reinstall JDS release 2 and W2K on my notebook due to a failed hard drive, and now, when I launch JDS, the Window's C drive is not writable (displays a pencil with the "red not accessible" symbol) on the JDS desktop.
On a previous installation, I was able to transfer files from the JDS desktop to the windows file system, for later use when I booted in windows.
I cannot figure out how to open the permissions on the /Windows/C file system.
Things I've tried include:
-editing fstab and changing the mount option from ro to rw with no success.
-going into the disk partitioner and deselecting the Read Only button for /windows/C with no luck
-Logging in as Root, and trying to change the permissions on the /C filesystem and simply getting an error that "C is a read only file system"
Thanks,
George

George,
You can reinstall win xp on a fat32 file system, or create an extra fat32 partition for shared files.
Also here is a link with infos about ntfs:

A follow up:
Just to add that there exist some tools that possibly may work the opposite way, for read access to a Reiser FS from Windows. If someone has or get experience with these tools, it could be of interest to hear if they do work or not..
1) RFSGUI:
ReiserFS browser for Windows 2000/XP/2003, which is based on and include rfstools.
I tried it without real success, because it wouldn't work work properly on Win2k trying to access my multi Linux installation. Maybe it works better on a simpler dualboot:

2) rfstool
A command line tool, which wouldn't start on my Win2k:

3) YAReG
- Yet Another R(eiser)FStool GUI
A gui for 2) rfstool above. I didn't install it because it requires MS .NET (which I don't wish):
