One is running FreeBSD 5.4 and the other two have WinXP Pro installed. I networked all three together. The WinXP systems are using the NTFS format. Samba can read and write to both of the WinXP machines without any problems. I really do not know if this is germane to a dual boot system however. It probably is not since WinXP would not actually be running when FreeBSD was in this type of configuration. Fat32 is really a poor file system when compared to NTFS. It is too bad that he is unable to get a second machine and use FreeBSD on it instead of dual booting.
