i have ubuntu 11.04 installed on 16g flash drive.

have 3 questions.

1) why every time log on linux os , later when log on microsoft xp on netbook ssd internal c drive, time , date reset linux default date , time in xp?

c drive should never have been touch when am linux os environment.

2)when in linux, , plug in flash drive, shows on ground screen, 16g flash plug in ubuntu not show up.

why that? how can , check properties , see how space have left on 16g flash drive?

3) when plug 16g flash drive in netbook in xp environment.

properties shows have 437 byte used , 975m free.

not show ubuntu os , fact 16g flash drive.
