In the past, I ran Linux and Win2k Pro in dual-boot mode on my desktop, and I had multiple hard drives installed, formatted to FAT32, which I mounted as sub-directories to my /home/wittig directory, in Linux. My laptop has two hard drives, the second one being in a tray that fits into the slot where the floppy drive goes... but I don't use the floppy drive very much, so I just swap it in when I need it. If you do this... or add a second HD externally, on USB, then you will not have to down-size your NTFS partition to make room for a FAT32 partition, for shared data... plus, you will have opened a door for making HD-resident back-ups and clones, for the day when one of your HD's eventually fails, or is corrupted/compromised. -wittig website: http://www.robertwittig.com/ weblog: http://robertcwittig.blogspot.com/ . ------------------------ Yahoo!
