if you make the dedicated data partition fat32 (NOT ntfs) you should have no trouble using it with either OS. i would create and format the data partition using w2k, copy some files to it, then mount it from linux using the command 'mount -t vfat /dev/hda6 /data' substituting the appropriate values for hda and data, and see if you can read them. jason
