can i share files between os X and XP?

[archedeyebrow]

I can't have a native installation of both OS' with a single shared storage partition

Its been done. I've been using it quite successfully. No issues so far. Check it out

Dual boot with Mac OS, Win XP and a shared storage partition

Cheers.

I know this is a really old thread, but this is what a Google search turned up. 8)

I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5. With Boot Camp, I also have a 32GB FAT partition running Win XP Pro SP3 smoothly.

I'd like to do what this guy was wanting to do. Have OSX, have Windows on an NTFS partition, then have a 3rd FAT partition for data.



So my question is: Has anyone succeeded in this? I'm not wanting to go through as many installs as this guy, so any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I just talked to a friend of mine and he mentioned what it took to set it all up. But in the end using VMware works a lot better for me, it's quick, there is only one partition and there is no need to reboot.
