Win7 mounts partitions?
On a dual-boot box, I've noticed Win7 can mount if Win7 resized and then reformats a partition. The choices are NTFS or exFAT for media format. Many tools available to format FAT32, but then Win7 won't mount the newly created partition.
What I'm after is:::::
a partition seen on Win7, reboot into Linux, and I get access to that same partition that Win7 wrote files to. In other words, the same functionality that a USB-external HDD gives, except I want the internal HDD to share a volume. I used to share a FAT32 \G: with a dual-boot XP box. But what I'm seeing with Win7 is Win7 has to create the volumes and then only a network or VM -- set up as a network -- can share files. I mean, if Win7 created the NTFS, the Linux side doesn't see those partitions either. In short, Win7 has to be the creator in all scenarios except networking??
Thanks in advance for any comments or insights.
