Help...Can't make changes to Windows drive

Hi: I've successfully installed (actually reinstalled) Bootcamp. Prior to the reinstallation, I was able to view files and move files around on the windows drive when I was using the Mac side. Now, I can view the windows files but I can't move them. I get a message that says I can't make changes to that drive. Any suggestions? Thanks, Alysse

Is it formated as NTFS? OS X cannot write to NTFS, due to Microsoft's lack of releasing the necessary information. You'll need to format your Windows partition as FAT32 for OS X to read it.
