Default Re: OT: Linux

Linux can't really write Version 5 NTFS partitions (as used by XP). And it can't handle XP's "dynamic disks" at all. But it can still read NTFS pretty well.

Since you have three partitions on your drive already, you might be well off just converting one of those partitions to Linux. Or, you can get a whole other hard drive to run Linux on. Or run it on another computer, if you've got space and an old computer lying around.
