WinXP Pro/Fedora Core 2 Dual-Boot Question
I am trying to set up a dual-boot with WinXP(Pro) on the first drive and Linux (Fedora Core 2) on the second drive. I have no problem getting them to both install correctly, and have no problems botting into either. My only issue is I can't seem to get them to talk to each other. Is this normal? I'm not real worried about inter-operability from Linux to WinXP, but I would like to be able to access, and maybe copy/view files from my XP-Drive onto my Linux drive....is this possible? I have read else where that there are issues as far as the file formats (nfts/fat32) but when i boot into Fedora I cant go into my XP configuration....did i do something wrong?

Uhh, unless you specified it as FAT32, Windows XP is running on NTFS 5.1. All you have to do is mount the drive like:
mkdir /mnt/windows
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
You cannot write to ntfs. You can only read. If fat32, then you can read and write. That's about it.

When I try those commands I get the following error:
"mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel"

Then fedora core 2 disabled the kernel module for ntfs. I heard about that before, and I guess you found it. You just gonna enable it under filesystems and recompile the kernel. Although a newb should recompile without a bit of preparation beforehand.
