Re: [orca-list] Extremely Urgent, and I do mean urgent: stupid question, but...

["Chris Gilland" <chrisgilland carolina rr com>]

You know w'w'w'w'w'wuht...

Hmm!

Me wonders!

Could it be... that... maybe, cause... the internal laptop drive which I've 
got in windows set up as a share, as well as the 300gb drive are both one 
huge partition, ntfs?  I thought the latest version of Ubuntu could read and 
write NTFS.  I know it at least should a been able to read, minimum.  And, I 
hear Samba does work with ntfs, unless I gotta enable something to make it 
see! ntfs drives.

Hmm.  Now! you all have got me curious, bigtime!

Um?

Anyone havva clue?

Chris.
