I have removed the ext2 IFS for Windows software and will install the
Diskternals software. I have know reason to be writing to Ubuntu from
Windows or vice versa. I think that's better way to go.

Well, the ntfs-3g install went smoothly. I can extract files from
Ubuntu to Windows or extract files from Ubuntu to Windows. Since
it doesn't come up all that often, the old way of using Fat32 as
an intermediary step in transferring files should work well enough.
I think you mentioned you had a fat32 partition. You may need sudo,
mount -t vfat /dev/hdxx /mnt/share and remember to umount /mnt/share
share would be a name for a Linux directory made by mkdir /mnt/share

Good luck,
Stephen
Yes I have a fat32 partition which is for sharing between the 2 systems.
That is all I need.
