If you can mount the Windows partitions under LINUX, you can copy file files
from partition to partition.  If that's not possible, you'll have to export
the data under Windows to another location/media, then boot into LINUX and
load the data into your LINUX database.

You can dump the databases from the Windows edition by using:

Mysqldump --all-databases --add-drop-table -uuserid -ppassword >
mydumpfilename.sql

To reload you can then:

Mysql -uusername -ppassword < mydumpfilename.sql

Hi there,
I have taken the plunge and dropped windows in favour of linux. My 
question is what is the best way to get the data from my windows mysql 
databases into linux? Can I just copy some files from one partition to 
another or what?

Thanks,

Matt
