Hi George 


Might be better to instead use NTFS on win7, Ubuntu can write to it and it makes for a more reliable file system for windows too. It can handle long filenames better but there are some issues with characters esp international ones and others like for example where on Linux CAPITALS matter on WinDowS they don't. 


The other alternative is to use SAMBA (windows style sharing) to get inbetween and share the disk to windows/Linux, not sure how you are using stuff, ie whether this is just on a dual boot laptop or a USB drive or external SATA etc that you switch between machines etc. To get the best and simplest solution might need more information
