I installed Ubuntu on an old pc with Windows XP on it. I have both operating systems as boot partitions on the same HDD. I am sure that the Windows XP has some viruses in it. Could a virus on the XP partition read any of my files on the Ubuntu partition being that they are on the same drive?

Thanks
