This must be because you are not subscribed, as the posts did make it through, as you can see here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2005-08/threads.html To subscribe follow the instructions on: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted > I then restarted the computer, choosing Linux as the OS I wanted. > I next started Writer and tried to open "test.txt", which was > visible.

Googling for "how to share partition between windows and linux" (without the quotes) popped up this: http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/partition-share-HOWTO.html It seems you need an option "umask=000" in your /etc/fstab, as shown here: http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/fstab.txt > I didn't remount the partition before rebooting my computer, > thinking I could mount it manually after the re-boot That was perfectly allright, there is no need to remount before rebooting. You can indeed mount the partition manually any time, even if /etc/fstab isn't correctly set up: by giving 'mount' all the necessary options directly. See 'man mount' for that. > I would have preferred not to > have to figure out myself how to get things going again, but to > have that information in advance from the info page. Well, if you can write something up, concise and general, and post it here, your text might get included in a next version of parted. One thing you may want to keep in mind: Google is half the Linux manual. Especially when having difficulties. :) Cheers, and enjoy!
