Im pretty sure I already know the answer to this question but since I dont really research a lot of disk specific things Ill ask anyway. Is there any friendly cross platform partition read and written to easily from several different OS's. Like If I dualboot debian and XP I would like to reach my media drives from both OS's. I know NTFS support has gotten better with linux but I dont wanna risk corrupting my media if I dont have too. drives are 80gb each so Ive already thrown out the FAT idea.

Thanks in advance for any input.
 
NTFS can be read by Linux safely, writing is the tricky one. So if you just want to read it in Linux it's fine.

If you want a file system that can be written to under Linux and Windows, FAT32 is probably the best choice, without need for special programs and apps.

There are also applications for Windows that let you write to ext2fs and ext3fs file systems, and there is also a Linux application (CaptiveNTFS) that is supposed to write to NTFS under Linux pretty safely.
 
ahh K gotcha, i knew writing was the sketchy part on windows but I didnt know the reading was fine on it. thx
