I'm a little behind, forgive me if this question has been answered long
ago -- if you want to share files between operating systems, I would suggest
using a FAT partition of sorts... any kind should do.  I think the drivers
for NTFS partitions are read-only?  NTFS 5?  Someone please let me know
about this.  :)

Richard -- if you need more detail, don't hesitate to drop me a line.
