least

available. On the right, you can adjust the Timeout from its default of

30 seconds; type 5 here, and you’ll instantly shave off 25 seconds from your

unattended boot time. (Don’t use a value so small that you won’t have time

Of Operating Systems and Filesystems

When

setting up a dual-boot system for day-to-day use, you’ll need to consider

the matter of sharing files between your operating systems.

In order to share files between operating systems, both partitions must use

filesystems supported by at least one OS. For instance, if you have a dual-boot

setup with both Windows 7 and Windows 98, you’ll be able to see both drives

while you’re in 7, but you’ll only be able to see the 98 drive while 98 is running.

(Although 7 can read drives formatted with the FAT32 filesystem, it can’t be

installed on one.) See Chapter 5 for details.

Now, if both your partitions use the NTFS filesystem—which is what you’d

likely get if you set up a dual-boot system with Windows 7 and XP—you also

may have ownership problems to contend with. As explained in Chapter 8,

every file and folder on your PC has an “owner,” a user tied to a specific
