What do you think about this scheme: Windows NTFS, /home partition, xubuntu Ext3 btw: Ubuntu can't write to NTFS partitions right? but it can read them, does that mean that i can, for instance, open, from within xubuntu,  a movie file located in the NTFS partition? <div>On 3/19/07, Vincent <<a href="mailto:imnotb@gmail.com">imnotb@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> <div>On 19/03/07, Daniel Bodanske <<a href="mailto:daengbo@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> daengbo@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> If you can wait until next month's release, the installer will also have the option of installing to your windows partition, guaranteeing no data loss since the Xubuntu system will just be a disk image file in your old partition.

I'd go for partition resizing. Though you might still want to wait for Feisty because it can import you Windows settings. -- Vincent -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
