Well, you didn't answer the question about the file system. Just in case 
you don't know, you can find it out with the command

mount

in a terminal. That will tell you the type of the file sytem for each 
partition. The commands of my previous mail are for an ext2/ext3 
partition and they would still apply. But it wouldn't work that way with 
FAT/NTFS.
