Well, here's me plan. I've got myself a total of two (hopefully three soon enough) harddrives, gonna turn it into a dual boot system. Gonna be running WinXP and MythTV (Linux essentially for those who haven't heard of it). Is there any file system or work around that will allow me to designate my third drive to files so that both of my oses can access them? I'm hoping I can run WinXP on one, MythTV on another, and then have a third drive for media files. Any way for this to work?

actually it can be written to with a certain module but its buggy and i wouldnt recommend it...u could accidentally wipe ur whole disk. u can even format to ext2/3 and just get a small driver to read it for windows...but that might be buggy too.
