I have done side by side install of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.0.4. I have setup a third partition for all my files I will switch between (i.e documents, music, and video's). How do I setup the third hard drive so that I can open in it the terminal so compile programs using the g++ and emacs. So my files stay updated if decide to open it in windows 7.
Hope this makes sense.
perfect sense. You can mount a windows drive in Ubuntu and use it for storage.... Some settings change depending on the filesystem, but pretty straight forward.
HAve a look at this: http://technical-itch.co.uk/2006/11/06/how-to-access-your-windows-hard-drive-from-ubuntu/

Hi.,
Let me say, u have three partitions in windows, C,D,E.
If u have installed ubuntu using option "Install inside windows", and used, "C" drive or ur Operating system drive for windows for ubuntu, then u can find all the files on the drive in the location : "/host/"
Specifically if u wanna use files stored in ur personal folder in windows, go to : "/host/users/USERNAME/"...
Or else, if u have installed ubuntu in an other drive, say "D" or "E", u can access all the files as mentioned...
Mount ur drive from "Places".u can access them easily
or go to computer in "places" and u will have access to all ur drive partitions. Hope u got it...
then u can change the path in ur terminal and use g++ or whatever u wanna do and files get updated so that u can use them when u go to windows..
With regards
