I've been told that data on a Freebsd partition will not be seen if I was in window's explorer. Is this true? So the deal is, I don't want to have like 1.25gb for Freebsd if I can't access data for Windows. On my primary drive I'm running Windows95...but am running low on space with that. So is it a good idea to partition straight down the middle and giving 1.25gb's each for WindowsNT and FreeBSD? Or should I offset this balance? And if so, what do you recommend that balance be? I understand if you want to debate about how bad WindowsNT is, but that isn't really helping me out. I greatly appreciate any help with the matter I'm inquiring about. Thank you. =) Jason -To email, please remove ".antispam" from reply header
