I put the distro in the title because you never know if it'll help. I think the solutions will be pretty standard across distros, though.

Okay, first question: Is there a way that, after I boot into Windows through GRUB, I can access the files on the ext3 partition of my drive? I hate editing pictures in gimp and not being able to access them.

Second question: What would I have to put on a line in /etc/fstab to mount the Windows partition as /mnt/windows, and give all linux users write access to it? I've looked at a lot of web tutorials on mounting a fat32 partition, but whenever I follow their directions the permissions are funky and I end up not being able to write to it unless I'm on as root.

Any and all help you can give me is greatly appreciated!
