I'm a little behind, forgive me if this question has been answered long ago -- if you want to share files between operating systems, I would suggest using a FAT partition of sorts... any kind should do. I think the drivers for NTFS partitions are read-only? NTFS 5? Someone please let me know about this. :) Richard -- if you need more detail, don't hesitate to drop me a line. -Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francisco Reyes" <freyes@inch.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG>; "Richard" <congressman_dogbert@hotmail.com> Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 7:03 AM Subject: Re: A few questions..... > On Fri, 18 May 2001 22:31:54 -0700, Richard wrote: > > >5th:Once FreeBSD is installed,can I install Windows 98 later on if I do not like FreeBSD?? > > If you are not familiar with running multiple OSs, I would > recommend you get a second HD to try FreeBSD.
