Setting up portable harddrive for Linux AND Windows.

[warren_1979]

Hi.

I've bought a WD passport harddrive for use with my Aspire One and Windows XP. The Aspire uses Linpus lite, which is a Linux distro based on Fedora 8 I think. I'm wondering what file system I'll need to use if I want to use it with XP as well.

Will I need to partition the drive half Linux file system and have XP?

Thanks.

Ok cheers for the quick replies.

I might go with yashiro's second option and get NTFS-3g driver installed onto my aspire, then format it as NTFS.

Thanks.
