I figured you could simply symlink the files you need shared and confirmed my idea with the following two web pages. http://www.plaintivemewling.com/?p=20 http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=412343 If you installed Windows on a FAT partition then you won't have to worry about creating a separate partition. However, if you have NTFS, I have an alternative to using FAT32 for the shared partition. There are Windows drivers for ext2/3 filesystems. http://www.fs-driver.org/ (freeware, ext2 and read-only ext3) http://www.ext2fs-anywhere.com/ ($30, ext2/3 and reiser) To find these I googled for: ext3 filesystem windows There seems to be no decent write support for ext3 with the free stuff so I would suggest using ext2 for this. I've been wanting to do this myself so thanks for the reminder. Mike ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
