I have MySQL installed on a WinXP box, on drive C. Recently, I've installed Linux on the same machine - dual boot, as one does. Linux is sitting on a second HD on which I created a windows partition, seen to Linux as /share and to Windows as D:, in order to share data between the two systems.
It is possible to move the current data being used by the Windows MySQL to the D: partition and make this usable by MySQL regardless of what operating system I'm using? I've started looking through the manual, but it's a big manual and I'd appreciate some pointers. I assume both installations of MySQL will have to be configured to look on /share AKA D: for data. So, any tips would be appreciated... a+ Steve
