However, the only reason I would consider XP or Vista as FAT32 is if I
needed to be able to manipulate the data on that partition using older
software such as 98, or if I was setting up a partition to dual boot 98 and
XP
Exactly. But the guy wrote it as if you needed fat32 to access via the
network. i asked him to clarify it to be dualboot situtations only.
My understanding of Vista is that the boot process/files are different from
XP, and I wouldn't want to even consider running Vista and 98 in the same
partition.
I don't think i'd do xp either... if i need them, there is a thing
called VM or VPC. :)
I do structure my systems so that the OS and system management
facilities/utilities are on the boot partition;
applications software - Office etc on another partition
email, comms, and personal files (stuff I typed in) on another
and then multimedia things, documentation packs, backup images etc. on
another.
i do this and haven't dual booted in years. :) Especially for data -
it makes it so much easier to get p*ssed off and just reformat. <g>
