Make a vfat (fat32) partition for read-write between both windows and linux. Alternatively, you could ask MS to add read support for ext2, ext3, ReiserFS, JFS and XFS to the next version of Windows. | | The other sense of what i tried to explain is that a lot of people are | now using NTFS partitions, more and more. Granted. Some OEMs do even with XP Home, but then again, most OEMs partition windows badly anyway, I normally repartition the machine even if it won't run linux. | Before (win98,winME,etc...), people used FAT partitions in majority but | it's different now. Better to not have NTFS write than to trash someones NTFS partition?
