I'm posting this for a friend who had a question about partitioning. He has one hard drive right now, and wants to dual boot Ubuntu and XP. That's the easy part though He also wanted to set up a 3rd partition on the same drive as a "storage partition" to be seen by both OS's. Is this something that can be done? I've looked all over the place, but I haven't found anything on it. Hopefully one of you guys could help me out, I'd appreciate it immensely!
Use part of the hdd for windows and leave the rest empty
then create a FAT32 Partiton, still leave something free.
At last install ubuntu.
Use the Fat32 partiton as share.
This is what I would recommend.
