I currently have my drive with a Win 2k (ntfs) partition and and a linux 8.0 partition. The truth is I had limited success with seperate drives and Grub (lilo works fine though). So I currently use one huge drive for both. However I have seen a USB drive formatted fat32 for data so at home he uses Linux 8.0 and at work he is forced to use Windows XP and that works great. So in short the swapping of HDD's is probably the best solution. But Mark Said before make sure the data drive is on fat32 or you will have problems.

Those windows games just love to hog disk. Then again, I usually don't have kernel source laying all over my disk in linux. Mark -- | Mark C.
