I have a dual-boot laptop running on the one hand Windows XP (sorry) and

My question: is it possible to exchange data files between both both
operaing systems in an easy and efficient way?
I don't know if it would be considered the most efficient, but I've got my
Sony GRT100 set up this way. It has worked out well so far.
Three partitions
25GB NTFS (MS XP)
3GB FAT32 (Data sharing)
12GB BSD (FreeBSD)
I'm using FreeBSD's boot manager for selecting the boot partition at
startup.
Best I remember I installed the above by
1) using FreeBSD to partition and install on ad0s3
2) install XP on first partition, format FAT32 partition within XP
(admin tools -> computer management -> disk management)
3) reinstall FreeBSD, installing FreeBSD boot manager
You could add an entry to /etc/fstabs to mount the FAT32 partition on
startup,
I just mounted it by hand if I needed it.
John.

you don't even need to use fbsd's boot manager. i mean, it works, but it
doesn't look very well, does it. :)
It works very well. It does exactly what it is designed to do
and does it without crashing or skrewing up.
It is not loaded down with a bunch of glitzy features, if that is
what you want. But, it works well.

i agree. i was referring to its look, though. no flame.
m:)
i prefer either grub or native windows nt/2k/xp boot manager. to use the
latter, you need something like BootPart
<http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm> to help you load fbsd's boot
record/sector.
