I copied and saved to NTFS drives now for several months without problem. I even used the windows pagefile "pagefile.sys" as swapfile (commands: mkswap pagefile.sys, swapon pagefile.sys). But you are right - without open specifications a risk remains. However, the risk in creating a safefile is limited. Puppy Linux writes the file only once (default size is 512 MB) inside this file it has a Linux filesystem and if you run from CD, USB or frugal install your personal files are saved there. I think I have an explanation what is saved where in the HTML Help in the "Where is my C: drive " section. Windows sees the file as a normal file which doesn't change after its creation (with the exception if you resize it manually from the Menu>Utility>Resize personal storage file). So if you create the file, reboot to windows and perform a chkdsk /f everything should be fine. If possible I recommend to install the live cd to linux partition (ext2 or ext 3, frugal install for the beginning). 10 GB is more than enough. In addition one could choose to get 2 to 4 GB of a Linux swap partition. This will be recognized and used at startup. The Tool GParted Partition Manager is very convenient and easy to use. If you get a warning sign for the windows NTFS partition you have to fix the partition first. Use chkdsk /f in command window inside windows and reboot (maybe twice to get everything fixed).

Well, see post above, should be a feature, but maybe its better not to load to ram by default. > > A friend of mine is interested and this seems to be a perfect way for an > XP-PC...
