If you want to share data, like word docs and mp3's, set up a shared fat32 partition that both os's can read and write from. The primitive nature of fat32 should not affect the performance of XP sincet eh os and it's programs are still running off an ntfs partition and only shared data resides on fat32. This is the safest way.
