MD8.2 (nor any other Linux distrobution I am aware of) does not read NTFS. I'm not an XP expert, but I believe you can force it to install on a FAT32 partition. If you only need to see personal files on the XP side, then create a FAT32 partition to save them there. MD8.2 will be able to see it. You may want to consider the first option if you want to take advantage of the ttfs fonts that are in MS. Barry
