How to get Vista to recognize and read a Ubuntu partition? A friend of mine has installed Ubuntu on his PC alongside Vista. He would like to know how he can get Vista to read and recognize the Ubuntu partition, so he can share and transfer data between the two. Any ideas please.

If your linux partition is ext2 or ext3, you can use ext2 IFS to do this. I don't think you will have any luck with ext4 volumes, or with your pda, saddly. I hope I helped. It's sometimes an issue for me too. Oh, and, if you do end up using this driver, make sure you have backups. I've seen it corrupt an ext3 volume when I got a bluescreen one time...just saying.

Why are boot times so slow? Does available HD space have anything to do with it? The reason I ask about HD space is the fact that with Mandrake 10.1 the boot up was alot slower than with XP, but Mandrake was on a 9 gig patition while XP was on a 27 gig one.

Now Mandrake is gone and in it's place, on the same drive, is Ubuntu 5.04. This one is terrible at boot time. IT takes upward 2 or 3 minutes to get past that screen of ever changing data, then it finally gets to the login screen and everything is of amazing speed.

Why is it that it loads so slow?
