Thanks Chris, I got this running this morning.
Now the machine looks the same to the network no matter what os the
machine is booted on.
I don't care about the security aspect of the drive as it's only Jo and
I using it.
The issue was that I want to be able to flick between os and not loose
access to my data.

FAT32 is not a viable option. We need to be moving forward in my view.
NTFS is the current ms standard.
Use it in linux for writing at your own peril. The suggestion to use
fat32 was for your benefit, knowing that if you write to ntfs in linux
you are courting disaster. in the end, it is up to you.
Thanks Nick. I know. We're also going to be running some back up
My next mission will be to get wine running so that I can use my apps in
nix and then what ever running so I can use my other apps in ms.
Why should the OS have so much control over what apps I use?
Cheers Don
You will never migrate like that.
what programs on windows are so compelling that you canot drop them?
The point is that I don't want to migrate - I want to be able to run
what ever I like when ever I like on what ever machine I have and not
have the OS dictate what I'm doing.
If my machine happens to be in nix by I want to open coral draw to view
a file then I just want to be able to do it - I don't think that's an
unreasonable thought? If I'm in xp then I want to be able to get to the
data on my nix disk without having to reboot. (he writes this as he
waits for his laptop to reboot into mdk just so he can get a single file
that his wife wants installed.)
Cheers Don
