can't read files in windows
I booted knoppix from the live cd, I have a 120GB usb hard drive that I want to transfer files from my windows XP drive to. I can read and write to both drives. I can also read and write to a 2GB usb flash drive.
Both usb drives are formatted in FAT32, windows is NTFS.
When I look at the drives in XP, all the files that I wrote to (in Knoppix) the 2GB flash drive are visible and accessible (in XP).
HOWEVER......
When I look at the 120GB drive in XP, none of the files that I tried to transfer are there. They are the exact same files that I wrote to the flash drive.
If I go back in to Knoppix, I can access the files on the 120GB that I tried to transfer but can't read in XP.
I am a linux n00b, so Im kind of lost. This is a very strange problem. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Well, I don't know what was wrong but it seems to be working now. I kept trying and it finally worked. For some reason if i create a folder or file on the 120 while I am in Knoppix, it won't show up in windows. But if I copy files and folders that were made in windows, they show up in windows. I don't think its supposed to work like that, but I'm not sure. Any one have any thoughts?
