Hi Sorry if this has been asked many times before I did search and couldnt find anything but perhaps I'm not using the right terminology .

I want to install a dual boot, Ubuntu and Windows7 but I want to be able to access my stored files , documents, music, pictures etc from either OS .

I already have Ubuntu installed so if there's away without re-installing

I am , as you might have guessed new to ubuntu so its all a bit new and strange . If there is a nice step by step tutorial

Thanks Paul

12.04 upgrade broke grub? (not wubi related)

I just updated from 11.10 to 12.04, with no major problems (it took a while to get past a request to restart ssh, mysql and some other services, but I did no fiddling by myself, everything was done by the installer). However, after restarting, grub can't do anything. Picking the new linux installation… >>> More
