Unless it's external.  Then it will be clogged up with Windows stuff that it 
will relinquish only very, very reluctantly.  I still haven't got my latest 
buy functioning properly: it almost is, but insists that it is read 
only. %^*£".  In despair I set the permissions at 777 and is _still_ insists 
that it is read only. :-(  (Nothing on it is even vaguely confidential or 
personal.)  Though it will write distros but not md5sums.
