So, in the spirit of the moment before I chucked an ubuntu live CD into my PC. V6.06 for those of you playing at home. I said I would use it all evening so I will.. I'm actually thinking of installing it - Dual booting with XP Home? Sounds allright to me Wink

Of course I would download the latest version and all of course but Im Curious (before we go any further into this question I KNOW but I'm asking anyway) I'm told by my fellow "communists" that ubuntu can use NTFS Partitions and by all the Windows Fanboys that it CAN NOT AND EVEN IF IT COULD IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVE! ZOMG!
Now that I'm in ubuntu, I can see the frives fine, but I cannot open them:

"Unable to mount the selected volume"

Any help?

Mounting NTFS read-only s preferable because the NTFS driver with read & write support is still beta. Another option is to use your Linux partition from Windows with fs-driver (although if you have Vista expect bluescreens)

Some HOWTOs:
