How do i create a partition that works that works on both linux and microsoft windows?
how to make a 3rd partition to be visible by both Linux and windows operating systems???
i have a hard disc of 80 gb on my laptop i made 3 partitions i created the first for my windows XP second for my Linux mandriva and third for my movies and music etc…
i want to make the third partition visible on both operating systems
in terminal on Linux its already visible, when i enter " ls /mount/f " it shows all the files that i was using on my windows, with help of a friend but he doesn’t know how to make visible on the "computer" part in Linux.
i reformatted the third partition from NTFS to FAT32 as i have read in multiple forums but now how do i activate it ?
the partition where windows is installed is C: or sda1, Linux is installed on the D: or sda5 and the partition that i want both operating systems to use is on E: or sda6
if anyone can give me any advise i would be very grateful !
yours Amir

hii…
if you want to get the hda6(sda6) in linux login to root terminal in linux
then
type ->mount /dev/sda6 <space>/ameer
before that u have to make folder ameer in ur root directoy
ie:mkdir /ameer
now u can get the files in sda6 through ameer
and if u want that permanentaly visible in linux
do type in the terminal
=>nano /etc/fstab
now u can see the fstab file add the entry like this <look the above enterie>
/dev/sda6 /ameer vfat defaults 0 0
and
save the file by ctrl+x and press y
