I accidentally left the linux disk in the drive when I went back to windows
and, lo and behold, windows can read it perfectly! So, it seams that linux
will write a file that can be read by both linux and windows, but windows
writes a (corrupted?) file that can only be read by windows. I wonder if
that is deliberate.
