I think you can just use plain NTFS as there are programs, kernel drivers etc. for Linux to make NTFS readable (here, for instance).

I'm not sure about the other way around: Windows programs with readability for Linux Ext drives.

Oh really does anyone have tried that? Just can't try it now because my notebook is not with me now. I have tried FAT and FAT32 but not NTFS, how careless am i. But with the FAT file system, i can't mount on the partition but i saw that drive on the linux.

mandrake 10.0 has support for NTFS from the getgo (read only as the NTFS write is experimental - ms changes the implimentation all the time).
but i can access my winxp partitions from linux on my laptop - and listen to music fine.

if ya switched one time from FAT to NTFS you will never go back ... full support in windows ... and at least third party support in Linux

I have the Redhat linux and from the link Davio gave, i found that redhat doesn't support NTFS right out of the box. Installation of driver(?) is needed. I am new to linux and that is very hard for me to do the task. I'll try it this monday when i have my notebook back.

Anymore alternatives is more then welcome.

Thanks in advance.
