Bear in mind that if you have windows in an ntfs partition it would be inadvisable to write to it. Reading is no problem these days, but writing is still experimental. You would do better to make the windows partition just big enough for your install and programs, and make a FAT32 partition for data which can be read by both OSs. The downside is that you have no access control with FAT32. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
