It's a good allthough no entirely complete guide for almost everything in KDE. KDE, for those that don't know is the graphic interface that allows point and click user friendlyness.	personthingy (1670)

In a command window, do mount. This will tell you the mount points of the hard disks. Then (as root) mount -o rw,remount mpt where mpt is the mount point (or the device name "/dev/blah/blah") of the disk. Writing to NTFS is probably OK now. But since MS won't release the specifications , and file systems can have subtle things which will catch you (even when you have documentation) it's considered safest to use FAT32, which is old enough to be known fairly well, as well as much simpler.
