OK im useing WinXP (NTFS) and linux. I want to format my HD but before i do i want to create a logical partition so that i can save files to it and so i wont lose them when i format my XP and nix partitions. After the format i plan on saveing all my work and music to this partiton so that it acts like a central store of data that BOTH win and linux can access and read from. What would be the best file format to use when i make this logical partition. Im favouriing FAT32 atm cos i know NTFS is very dodgy to write to from Linux, with the current 2.4 Kernel.
