Hi, just installed Ubuntu onto my wife's laptop, but she wanted to keep Windows XP 'just incase'. She wants to be able to access her files from the XP partition, which I know can be done. I've had problems doing this myself, wondering if anyone can help, as we're both PC newbs.
I've asked a similar question before, so I'll be predictive and tell you the outputs of various commands:
sudo fdisk -l
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xb8abb8ab
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 2551 4803 18097222+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 4804 4864 489982+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
sudo blkid
Code:
/dev/sda1: UUID="120C3A5A0C3A38D5" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda2: UUID="dd72559b-60d8-456d-9937-f31ffe79e3ef" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda3: TYPE="swap" UUID="b79735f2-d62b-447c-bdce-3be6b940bbb0"
cat /etc/fstab
Code:

Thanks very much in advance
