File sharing in dual boot?

[mikro 402]

How can I access the Win 7 files from Ubuntu and vice versa. (I mean on the same machine.)
I have Wine installed and working but I need to access the files from the C: drive.

I had been reading about Samba but I'm not sure thats what I need.

Thank you,

Mikro

Go to the Places menu, select your win drive and click it.
Windows cannot access linux filesystems - and a good thing too.

If you want to have a common data partition for both systems, you could create an extra ntfs partition which can be accessed by both linux and windows.

It isn't in Places..Just HomeFolder,Documents,Desktop,Music,Pictures,Videos ,Downloads,Computer,Factory Image,Network,Basement,Connect To Server,Search For Files, and Recent Documents.

Can you post a copy of your /etc/fstab file?

You don't have a mount point for NTFS

TeoBigusGeekus is 100% correct, that is the simplest way to share files, however, creating a partition formatted NTFS strictly for sharing/storage is the best way to go if you can.

NTFS partitions should show up in Places no matter what the fstab says.
Your Places list looks a bit funny, though. Can you attach a screenshot?
For a permanent solution: +1 for the additional shared NTFS partition. That one should be added to fstab to have it permanently mounted.

My bad....I didn't catch the "from C: drive", but the best way by far is a shared partition. That was my thinking when I asked for the fstab.
