portable usb harddisk regardless in windows and ubuntu / linux environment
- by user8184
I am doing web development mostly in ubuntu.
Sometimes i need to go into windows to do other administrative work.
Now i am ignorant about file systems. I cannot tell the difference between NTFS and FAT32. My eyes just glaze over the wikipedia articles.
All I know is i have been using this 320 Gb portable USB harddisk to save files when I am in ubuntu and when I am in windows.
Now i got a situation where sometimes the windows 7 cannot detect the harddisk.
I believe it has to do with the file system issue. Or my harddisk is coming apart.
To make it easy to backup my files in a portable USB harddisk regardless in ubuntu or windows, please advise me.
That means i can go from
from linux/ubuntu to portable
harddisk read/write files
from
windows 7 to portable harddisk
read/write files
the same files.
Thank you.
