Actually, there are three computers. One is running FreeBSD 5.4 and the
other two have WinXP Pro installed. I networked all three together. The
WinXP systems are using the NTFS format. Samba can read and write to
both of the WinXP machines without any problems.
I really do not know if this is germane to a dual boot system however.
It probably is not since WinXP would not actually be running when
FreeBSD was in this type of configuration.
Fat32 is really a poor file system when compared to NTFS. It is too bad
that he is unable to get a second machine and use FreeBSD on it instead
of dual booting.
Just my 2ยข.
