This reply is how to mount a windows partion read and writeable.

1)type “su” to get superuser, and enter the password when requested
2)type “kate”
3)open /etc/fstab in kate
4) Go down into the file and find and un-comment the /dev/hdax /mnt/win lines where x represents the drive number. By un-comment I mean deleat the hash (#) in front of each line that has a hdax where x represents the drive number.
5)save the file and exit
6)make a right click on your desktop, and click on “create new”-->”hard disk ...”
7)move to “Device” and select “/dev/hda1 (/mnt/win)”. Make sure that the button “read only” is UNchecked. Click on the “o.k.” button.
(note: you can of course also rename the file to “windows”

You should now be able to mount your windows hard disk by double-clicking on the Icon you created in step 6 and 7.
If youhave any problems or don't understand something, please feel free to post here again!
Enjoy!
