What filesystem is the Windows partition? If it's NTFS, I'm not sure that
linux is capable of writing to it (and M$ aren't going to tell us how to
write to it any time soon at a guess). If it's FAT... I'll have to have
a think about it. I gave up with dual boot systems, and ended up with one
linux (Gentoo) file server running ext3 and Samba, and a Windows box. The
switch to ext3/samba fixed no end of problems with trying to share FAT
partitions with samba.
