I'm still toying with the idea of fully replacing Windows w Debian GNU/Linux. The doubt I am still having is this: will I be able to use all the data that I had created under Windows, those documents, emails, images, audios and videos? Anyone has done a complete and successful conversion? Will I have to start-off with a dual-OS system and do the conversion via the HD? Or should I carry out a MS Backup of all these data to a CD-RW and use it for the conversion under LInux? Would like to hear from you. Cheers Ken ------------------ end of quote --------------- I have a dual OS system with Windows 98SE and Debian GNU/Linux. I put woody on a second hard drive. Since woody can mount a FAT32 filesystem, getting to the Windows hard drive is convenient. Others on the list have Windows XP with the NTFS system. Since Linux does not yet appear to have reliable access to that system, a number of them appear to have created an FAT32 partition on their system that lets Linux and Windows have a common access area. I use LILO to give me a menu at boot to select either OS. For the convenience of my wife, it defaults to Windows at present. But that may change as she gets used to Linux!
