In other words, what I think he is saying is just use the Windows partition to save your documents and skip the flash drive. That will work if the XP partition is formatted as FAT32. If it's NTFS, on the other hand, the support is still a little bit hit and miss. Then again, in addition to either a flash drive or using the other partition, you could always use a site like http://www.4shared.com or http://www.xdrive.com and save the files there. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
