Another alternative might be mounting their Windows-formatted 
drive from within a *nix-like OS.  These permissions are usually 
set via the /etc/fstab mounting options for the drive.  I don't 
remember what the defaults are, as I have mine set up to take a 
forced set of uid/gid for users/groups specific to my system. 
Because at least FAT32 doesn't have this idea of groups (mapping 
to NTFS is an entirely different ball of wax), you can specify a 
default mask for everything or specify the directory mask 
separately from the file mask.

	man mount

will give more details on such goods.
