Ah, good question. I think that it's NTFS as the missus is using it to store
captured video in raw AVI format (via Adobe Premiere). So it must be NTFS as
these files would be huge.

Yes, I know. So, as someone else said, it's not related to "simple file
sharing".

I can see the drive on the network, I just cannot write anything to it, despite
it being allowed under file sharing for that drive.

Dozen madder. I ended up copying the data across the network from the computer
rather than copying it to the computer...

That wouldnt make any difference. I have formatted 160gig drives FAT32. It
works. I just dont like it. You can store one file of 140gigs on that if you
want.

Like I said - you didn't OWN the drive. You needed to change ownership.
