mudmanc4 Posted October 28, 2008 CID Share Posted October 28, 2008 If you want to read and write from OS to OS, then make sure you se the windows partition to FAT32. My guess is you have windows installed already ? You may be able to make another partition and set it to VFAT otherwise. Just make sure you use " GRUB " for the booatloader. It's alot easier if your not familiar. Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/24115-gentoo-linux/#findComment-287276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 28, 2008 CID Share Posted October 28, 2008 If this is your first time doing anything with linux you may want to install virtual box on windows and then install any linux distro in a virtual machine on top of windows so you don't have to do a dual boot.
