Bazzah. Re the first statement, do you mean files created in Windows
aren't actually visible in the same Windows session? If so, that's

What kernel / distro are you using? If you've got "fat32" in your
fstab, try changing it to "vfat". I'm not au fait with the workings of
Windows filesystems, but that's what I use for my Win98 partition
without problems (2.4.21 on RH 7.3, might soon be RHEL WS 3.0)
