This is a removable drive? Are you cleanly ejecting it on both OS's before opening it on the other? Stating which Linux distro and which Windows version would help to clarify the question a bit. – Helvick Dec 20 '09 at 14:22

Are you sure there is only the one filesystem on the drive? You're not mounting different filesystems in each OS...

Is this one specific file?
