Greetings all, I tried asking this on the Ubuntu forums but, did not get an answer.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1698507 A while back I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in dual boot config with Windows XP. In past installs I already had a second NTFS partition prior two installing Ubuntu. I seem to recall getting annoying permission issues (sorry for lack of detail) when running Ubuntu and performing file tasks on the NTFS partition. With this in mind, I figured creating the NTFS partition during Ubuntu install would be best. Unfortunately when creating the NTFS partition, I did not realize it was set to "Partition Type=Linux" (see forum link for details). So now this partition although formated to NTFS, the file system is not recognized in Windows. It is no big deal to move data and format again. I just want to understand what is the best way to share NTFS partition between Linux and MS Windows in a dual boot situation. Thanks for your input.
