In linux or windows I dont qualify as smart but I have some experience with this subject. I think you are under some misconception about whats happening. I had a windows system and a RH system on the same disk. The RH system auto mounted the windows at /mnt/windows so I had access to all of the windows files it was easy to transfer xxx to RH by cp xxx xxx. I was mostly using gimp on the RH but could not think of a way to transfer from RH to windows except via floppy. Consider the following when windows is mounted on the linux system it is just a file on a directory (mnt/windows) windows isnt running! Should you write a file to /mnt/windows there is nothing to check for free space, nothing to register the file as far as windows is concerned the file dosent exist but you have corrupted the system by overwriting files that it knows about. What would happen ? Who knows! All you have to do is mount linux on a windows part. and then you will have access to the linux files. GFL (not translated).
