Hi there.
I've just installed Office 2007 using Crossover Linux 7.0 onto a system running Ubuntu 8.04 64bits.
I cannot save documents in my /data partition (which is mounted as NTFS) if I save the document in Word 97-03 format. It says the disk is full or write protected (none of them true). Still, if I save using 2007 format, it works.
Moreover, If I save the same file on my default partition :~/.cxoffice/default/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/crossover/Desktop, it works in both formats.
I have no problem on saving using either format in my /data NTFS partition if I run the same Office2007 instance on a virtual machine like virtualbox, so I am assuming this is some sort of bug or missconfiguration of cxoffice7
Do you have a Linux driver capable of writing to the partition? Can you write to the NTFS partition with a Linux application? E.g, can you copy the file to the partition after you saved it elsewhere?
In your VirtualBox setup, do you mount the partition in Linux and access it by forwarding the mounted folder, or do you forward the raw partition into the VM and let Windows mount it?
1.- I can write to that partition in linux without a problem. In fact, it is my default data partition so all my program's data, documents, email, etc resides there.
2.- I can copy the *.doc file saved on $CXOFFICE7HOME/.../Desktop created with cxo7.0/word07 anywhere in the disk, including that partition. Then, if I double click the icon, it opens with word2007 in READ ONLY mode.
3.- In my virtualbox config, I mount that partition in linux and then access it through a network shared drive in windows. (virtualbox shares it like some sort of smb drive and then winxp reads it as if it were in another computer.)
so bottom line is that the partition works without a problem in linux
If you could point me to some traces/logs to look at I could help further debugging the issue.
