I have a 650Gb HDD usb drive that I wish to use with ubuntu 10.04LTS 
aswell as on a WINXP system.
HDD is clean.
My ubuntu system has a /home partition formatted to EXT3, but as I use 
IFDRIVE to read this partition from windows, it needs to be set to have 
inode of 128 eg (mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 -i 128)

my way of thinking is I need to partition the drive, format the drive to 
EXT3 making sure that is set inode to 128
How do is the best way to do this?

Then I need to get ubuntu to talk to this drive when I plug it in 
How do I do this?

Thanks for any help
