Re: can't open hda1 icon on desktop

There's a hda1 icon on the ubuntu desktop but its permissions are
currently 400 and greyed out so
I can't write to it. I tried chmod 660 but it has no effect.

How can I get that NTFS file into hda1 without doing it in Windows?

The simple answer there is that you can't. Still, you won't be able to
sue that file without running Windows, so after booting into WinXP,
download 'explore2fs' from

http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm

and use that to copy the file from /home to your windows partition.
