[DM-MUG] Fwd: [MacLaw] MacBoot: Sharing Data

[Victoria L. Herring]

>
>  From the Apple TechNote on MacBoot:
>
>Q: During installation, the Windows XP installer asks me to format
>the Windows partition using NTFS or FAT. Which should I use?
>A: If the partition is 32 GB or smaller, you can use either FAT or
>NTFS. If it's larger than 32 GB, then you can only format it using
>NTFS. Mac OS X can read and write FAT volumes, but only read NTFS
>volumes.
>
>Therefore, if you create a 32 GB or smaller Windows partition and
>format it as FAT, the Mac can read and write files in the Windows
>partition.  This could be used to exchange data between Mac and
>Windows programs.  Of course, you'd still have to reboot the computer
>to toggle between Mac and Windows OS.
