Not necessairly. Linux also *can* use XFS, JFFS, ReiserFS, etc. XP also *can* use FAT32. By default, most Linux installers are set to ext3, and XP's default is NTFS, but you can change it to FAT32. > Can files be swap between the two? My last dual-boot setup included two drives. The first looked like: hda1 - ntfs WindowsXP hda2 - ext3 Linux ... hdb1 - vfat Storage I could copy music/pictures to the FAT32 storage drive and use them in Linux and Windows. There are Windows applications that can read ext partitions. One that I know of is Ext2FS Anywhere by Paragon (commercial). I used it and it worked well. But if you have a third partition that both OSes can read/write, you're set. Jeremy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
