You should be able to read the NTFS partition from Linux if it's enabled and
permissions are set. The easiest way to share files between the two is to
set up a FAT32 partition to store them, then you can read/write that from
either OS.

Subject: [SLUG] dual boot
Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 10:42:58 -0600
Hey, everybody!
Last night, I completed my first dual-boot installation! When I had
asked about it before, the answer has basically been, oh, it's easy. Well,
I'm here to tell you that the first time setting up a dual-boot XP/Debian is
not easy. It will be a whole lot easier next time, that's for sure! This
computer that I worked on all day yesterday is my brother's. He needs some
M$ Office stuff, but still wants Linux. So, I decided to just figure out
how to do it. One thing that I have noticed, though, is that I cannot see
one filesystem with the other one. This concerns me since that was part of
the point of setting it up as a dual-boot is so that he could play with
documents on either side of the coin and still save them in the same place.
How do I do this? Am I destine to reinstall again, or can I simply slip
another carefully formatted partition in somewhere? Any and all help
welcome. Thank you!
