Ah. A crucial bit of information that was missing from the original post. Standard practice in that case is to create a partition on the system with a filesystem that both OSes can read and write. Between Windows and FreeBSD that boils down to msdosfs, or in Windows-speak FAT32. (FAT12 and FAT16 are also supported, but why on earth would you want to use them if FAT32 works?) See newfs_msdos(8), fsck_msdosfs(8), mount_msdosfs(8), msdosfs(5) Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 8 Dane Court Manor School Rd PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Tilmanstone Tel: +44 1304 617253 Kent, CT14 0JL UK --------------enig2EEF4D2547A03411A9B4C321 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQcrSppr7OpndfbmCAQIjZgP9EpWjCqykd01IRJJjv1614QggtNdSr3o/ FefAbt5f81nIluhDu5TSa5ZKGBhxej0TRPlDcWT2kOq23FrcpP+bm6OJEciGJ1Tl 2z1+KOmq52PvfM8s+AUzVWks/aB2g+9qVHiBbvCN2gSUIYIcFZ59ONAptCBBlMAi Q6gK5YkLZPY= =8ung -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig2EEF4D2547A03411A9B4C321--
