Windows Can't read linux. Linux can Read windows (ntfs) partions but can't write to them. Linux needs an installation partion and a Swap partion. Both windows and linux can read and write Fat32 so thats best for the Shared partion. I remember some thing about full support in linux for ntfs but that used some emulation software I'll have to look it up.
