Browsing Windows NTFS and FAT drives are easy. You just have to know how to set it up in the fstab file.

Other than that, it's not hard. Distros like Mandriva (maybe even Suse,) do that for you from the start.

Likewise, winXP can't read ext3 file systems.

But there's programs that will let you.

How ya doing, buddy?

I use Partition Magic first to shrink down the Windows/NTFS partition.

Then in Ubuntu, it's as easy as telling it to automatically partition the free space on the drive.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
