Transfer files between linux and Windows XP through dual booting by Hotdeal on 06-07-2009 at 07:02 PM
I'm currently dual booting Linux and Windows XP and I'm wondering whether I can create a folder that is accessible through both OS's. I know I can just simply transfer using a external hard drive and I will resort to that if I can't create a shared folder.
Thanks

Just mount your NTFS drive into Linux, a quick google search will show you tons of ways to do it.

Will this be a challenging task for a beginner?

It's very easy, most guides tell you step by step how to do it exactly.

lol, I forgot about that.
So yeah, it's up to you Hotdeal, either access your Windows XP drive in Linux, or access your Linux drive in Windows XP, both will accomplish the same thing, but maybe the way nimicitor suggested is easier.

I'm using Ubuntu Jaunting Jackalope 9.04, can I still use the Debian tut?

ntfs-3g (the drivers for using NTFS in Linux) come as standard in Jaunty. If you open nautilus (the file manager) you should see your Windows partition/drive in the sidebar. It'll probably be listed as "19.9GB Media" or similar, depending on the size. Just click it (or double click, I forget) to mount it.
You can then move files on and off it just like a normal attached drive.
No need for the debian tutorial.
