Re: [newbie] How to read and write to a Win XP partition
Thank you very much for all your reply, I think I will give a try to the Michael solution and create a FAT32 partition.

AW: [newbie] How to read and write to a Win XP partition
isn't it allready automounted in /dev/sda1 ? or in /mnt/windows my XP installation [while the X stands for cra] installed on hda was automounted into /mnt/windows ... and you could do su 'pwd' chmod -R a +rwx /dev/sda i think that should let your read and write [and execute] your window$partition w/ every user - keep the X in your system - -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Im Auftrag von luca braglia Gesendet: Mittwoch, 10.

Re: [newbie] How to read and write to a Win XP partition
Sorry for butting in here, but I was wondering how you get your XP partition to mount automatically. I have to manually mount it every time I start up Linux.

Re: [newbie] How to read and write to a Win XP partition
I did that. Okay, (I have to do this from Memory because i haven't got Linux booted up). BUT you go to Control Center, then.boot. Then you click on something in there, and it will have a variety of options, and it will say default or boot up or something. Then you have a selection of the different boot up modes you can do. You select the one that is selected as default (it will have (default) next to it) and select properties, and unselect the thing that makes it be default. THEN you select Windows (on my system it is called NT) and select properties and check the default button. and then press okay, and apply and all sorts of confirmation buttons. Hope this helps, if it doesn't I'm sure ANYONE can provide a more thorough description.

Re: [newbie] How to read and write to a Win XP partition
I should not but in here , but surely, if you want your WinXP partition recognised in LM(X.X) then all you neet to do is create a directory in /mnt , call it anything you like,eg W-XP, and then go to /etc/fstab and write a stanza to mount it at boot time.
