Not by default it cant, correct.
BUT..
Download and install this:

Then the partitions will show up in "My computer" and you can access everything from your linux installation! :D
orion2020 04-22-2008, 01:46 AM I believe if your windows partition was formatted in FAT32, linux could see it and vise versa.
Could be wrong though

Linux CAN See NTFS (Which is what Windows Vista uses exclusively)
Well, Hardy Heron could. I think 7.10 also could see it.
Not sure if you can Write to it though.

True dat, but I was thinking more "default" and not having to install anything extra.
Unless the ntfs support was packaged in 7.10 .... not sure on that
simonrichards150 04-22-2008, 02:16 PM I have 7.10 and i can write to NTFS just fine.

If you are using vista try using easy BCD as the defualt bootloader...if you even still have that problem

You're correct, i'm reading / writing Linux partitions from Windows XP and vice versa. Dual booting currently with XP and Kubuntu 8.04
Cyanidepoison 04-26-2008, 06:50 PM When you dual-boot you should create a FAT32 partition for all of your data to be shared between the operating systems. This way everything stays intact when you reinstall and both operating systems can read and write FAT32.

Ubuntu can write to NTFS also can't it? NTFS is way better than FAT32 because you are not limited in File Size.

Current kernels can read NTFS but not write, although ntfs-3g module can get write. Its a little experimental.
By the way, I just got a @unix.net email address. I feel cool.
