A friend of mine has installed Ubuntu on his PC alongside Vista. He would like to know how he can get Vista to read and recognize the Ubuntu partition, so he can share and transfer data between the two. Any ideas please.

How do I hook up a Linux computer to the internet using an XP host?
I am running Fedora Core 5 on my laptop and I have Windows XP Media Center on my desktop which is connected to the internet via LAN. I want to know how I can connect to the internet from my laptop using my desktop’s net connection. I already have all the physical connections set up (network adapters and cable) and I’m already using my network for file sharing. Please don’t offer any suggestions on using Linux as host (I already know how much safer it is). I want help on dealing with situation as it.
Incidentally, I’m also facing trouble using ICS from my XP partition on the laptop. It used to work flawlessly before, but I think after I installed Fedora it stopped working (although file and printer sharing areOK). I ran the ICS wizard again on each comp, but it didn’t work. Any suggestions on what might cause that?

How do I move Ubuntu to a new partition?
I have a Dell Insipron laptop with windows vista. I used "wubi" to install Ubuntu onto my computer but it installed it in windows. I want Ubuntu to have its own partition and not be in windows. I have already set up a new partition but i dont know how to move my ubuntu to it. Should I just use windows explorer to transfer the ubuntu folder to the new partition or is there a procedure for it?
