I was about to suggest that you look and see what tpye of partition that you have. If it is FAT32 (not the skinny one!!) then you can read wnd write data to it. If it is NTFS it is read-only, because of the proprietry format of NTFS no-one has figured out how to (safely) write data to an NTFS based partition.

You can write safely to a NTFS partition using captiveNTFS which uses Window's own drivers to give full NTFS support, I'm sure the current Knoppix livecds have captiveNTFS on them, I don't know if the SuSe livecds do though.

If they are using window's own drivers, I do not think that is "legal", at least by Window's licence designation. So I doubt that knoppix would risk persecution by law to allow for readable ntfs partitions. I could be sorely mistaken, however; just a thought.

They can because they don't distribute the drivers, just captureNTFS which is a wrapper for them, captureNTFS can then use the drivers from the installation of Windows on the computer that you are running.

Oh, it is just using drivers natively found on ntfs partition? Never mind, I was assuming they were DISTRIBUTING the drivers. Thanks for the clarification!
