Setting up file sharing in a Ubuntu/Windows dual-boot environment
I'm migrating to Ubuntu from Windows. I bought a pc with Win 7 and used the Ubuntu Windows Installer to set up a dual boot environment. In installing my old data files on the new machine, I'd ideally like a single set of data files to be accessed by both operating systems, so, for example, I can work on a document in OpenOffice and then in Microsoft Office (which I may need to do on occasion to address formatting issues), but it remains the same single file and I don't have version control problems.
I've installed ntfs config; it shows two directories, which I assume are the C and D directories set up by windows. (C seems to have mount point /host and D is /media/DATA.) How do I access those directories from Ubuntu?
I've also installed samba, but couldn't figure out what do to in the "Add Share" dialogue box.
Do I need both of these approaches, or are they redundant?
And then, of course, I need to know what to do on the Windows side.
Many thanks!
