Ha ha ha ha, heh.
Every single file on C:\ (hd1) has been set to read only mode. I have tried

attrib -r c: /s /d

as well as a large combination of the attrib commands. And yes, I have tried unticking the 'read only' box. I am guessing this is because linux (xubuntu) locked the drive up.. Some mixup with file permissions as I was accessing the drive, then the server hit a flood and the computer crashed while accessing the Windows Partition.
Ha ha ha, good stuff.

this is a complete stab in the dark..but try taking ownership of the C drive in windows first...right click the c: drive and choose properties, then the security tab, then advanced then the owner tab...choose your user in the list and tick the "replace owner on subcontainers and objects" box then press apply...then try to modify the attributes

I would have done this a while ago, but apparently I don't have this security tab for any of my folders.. I do recall using it before. And in any case, that is just for setting User Restrictions. I can write files to the disk, however programs that require plugins can't load the plugins unless I set the file properties while the program is running.

To view security tab, first you have to disable File-Sharing. To do this:

Click Start, open My Computer, select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab.
Untick Use simple file sharing (Recommended)
Click Apply and OK.

Now Right Click on any folder > Properties. You should get to see the Security tab.

As in to say, that the ladder post had no effect.
