Apache to share htdocs and mysql with windows and ubuntu?

Hi im a complete newbie so bare with me :)

I have installed xampp on my windows and ubuntu partitions. Now I would like xampp on linux to share htdocs and mysql databases on my windows so I dont have to keep drag and dropping files and overwriting files I needed :)

Can this be done as I can read my windows partition from linux???? And if it can please could you guide me through the process.

Many Thanks

Are both systems running at the same moment? With a virtual machine?
Or do you choose during starting?

I am guessing you choose during start.
So you need to mount the windows partition in Linux ... you may need too add an entry into /etc/fstab
Then you can change the settings from mysql and apache to the folder of the htdocs and database from windows.
The Apache settings should be in an folder like "/etc/apache/sites-enabled"
I don't know the setting folder from mysql ... just search in /etc/

Hope that helped you.

If someone could go into a little bit more detail for me I would really help me, like I said I'm a new to all this.

Thanks again
