I often do this and there are two practical solutions. One is as Garrett mentioned to simply have a small FAT32 partition that suits your needs (remember max file size is 4GB), call it buffer, and mount if from both OS. A better solution may be to use samba. This is much better, but you need an extra server running either pure Windows or some alternative OS with samba server. Then you simply access this server from both OS and it should not be a problem hopefully. Sometimes I am surprised by the wonders an extra smbfs record in fstab can do. It is very very practical, believe me. It has saved me out of sticky situations a number of times. Just remember to put tight security settings on the file server. Atanas
