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

You can read NTFS drives, unsure if you can write to them. HTH. Mark Addinall.
