   	That is normal behavior for Windows.  I think there   
   maybe some Windows add-on that lets Windows read Linux files   
   but most usable Linux distributions can read the various   
   Windows file systems.  My solution to interchange between the   
   two systems is a partition in a Windows readable format where   
   I copy files that I thought I wanted to use on Windows to the   
   xchange partition.   Windows prefers to be blind to Linux.
