I have just started using SUSE Linux 10.1 and I want to be able to share all my Multimedia, Work and my Website between Linux and XP Pro.
My PC currently has
120GB IDE HD
- 80GB NTFS for Windows
- 40GB ext3 partition for Linux
My idea is to get a new 300 GB SATA disk to put all my shared stuff on as I trust SATA more than IDE however I do not know what format to use, I have read that Linux can be unreliable when writing to NTFS, however FAT32 restricts the maximum file size to 4GB which isn't enough for DVD Images, I do not know if Windows can recognise any other file system??
Thanks in advance,
Phil
