I currently dual boot Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.2.1.  I have files that =
are common to both (MP3's and some documents).  Is there a way to create =
a partition that can be read by both that would eliminate this double =
copy problem?

I thought creating a separate partition woudl work but Windows XP allows =
only one visible primary partition and I don't know how to mount a =
logical partition with multiple sub-partitions.
