[ale] dual boot

[sangell at nan.net]

There is kernel support for NTFS but is read only and is a pain to compile.
I tried it once and had it working on a dual boot XP setup but the read
only aspect made it practically useless.

           Your partition needs a file system that can be read by both
OS's, yes ?
Well, MS only reads FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS.  However there is a utility that
will allow any MS system to read the ex2 fs and it has it's own website,
though I have never installed and used it.  Linux will read FAT16 or FAT32.
I think the kernel has support for NTFS, but the last I heard it was
experimental.  Please understand that moving stuff in and out of NTFS will
strip/screw with the file permissions.

           There is also the "Multi-boot Configuration Handbook" by Que

Good Luck,
