I am shortly installing Mandriva Discovery on a separate hard drive and run as a dual boot with XP (which of course runs NTFS). So, do I understand this correctly that I will not be able to read/write to the XP hard drive when running Mandriva? I'm surprised that there is not a program that addresses this?

What are you using? OpenOffice? Have you tried "Save As..." to save a copy, or to switch the document into write mode? Miark ----cjs reply---- mark, its not an app problem actually, linux doesnt write too well on ntfs..most linux's will not allow you to write to ntfs..i know slax and mandriva and some others dont allow you to write to ntfs. ----end of reply---- ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
