Any pointers would be welcome. Meanwhile, I'm defragmenting Windows, in preparation for resizing its partition. Y'see, I'm committed ;)
When I got my ThinkPad a few years ago, I repartioned the drive so I could have both Linux and XP on it. I also created a FAT32 partition, which I moved the "My Documents" folder to. This allows me to read & write documents from either OS.
I'm curious as to how you managed to get the Fat32 partition to mount on the "My Documents" folder. I end up redoing too many Win based PC's and going back to restore all that data, when it would be mucho handy to just have it write to a separate partition in the first place. And how graceful is Windows if it cannot access that partition at startup? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Right click on the "My Documents" icon. On the "Target" tab, there's a box "Target folder location". You can select an empty partition there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
