... well can it? :)

And for that matter, what about when it comes to w/r with NTFS? I'm in the migration process from keeping all my stuff on XP to Linux pretty soon and want to know what I'm up against.

Thanks!
 
You may have to add a module, but any distro can safely read and write to fat32 filesystems. Read access from ntfs is fine, and full r/w access can be hd through captive-ntfs.
 
Is there anything special that needs to be done in Linux for it to recognise a new drive? After booting it up with the old XP (w/a FAT32 and an NTFS partition) disk connected, nothing was showing up in the GUI and I'm not familiar with the term commands yet to really navigate all over the place. And no, I wasn't logged on as root.
