I bought a Samsung laptop that came with Windows 7 home prem. Using Windows I shrunk the drive to free up space for my Feroa 17 KDE install. I also created a second NTFS partition using Windows to store all my data from both Windows and Linux. I installed Fedora 17 without issue, created a directory under /mnt called "windata" ( /mnt/windata ). Modified /etc/fstab with the following entry
/dev/sda5 /mnt/windata ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=0,gid=500,umask=000,rw 0 0
I am able to read from /mnt/windata just fine: play videos, view photos, etc. However when I try to write to the drive evertything seems fine (create files, change file names, etc) but when I reboot from Fedora to Windows 7 all my changes and files from Fedora are gone.
Any ideas?
