If this isn't on topic, sorry ahead of time & perhaps you can point me in the 
right place?

I've been reading up on having a separate partition for your /home files. For 
quite some time, I've been using a ntfs partition named "storage" as it makes 
re-install or fresh install of OS much easier. While it's WAAAAAY neat that two 
different distros of Linux can share the /home partition, I still need MS at 
times. I figure I can't be the only one, but after looking on the net, I 
couldn't decide the best way. I could use Linux to pull files off of the MS XP 
ntfs partition easy enough, but it seems cheesy. All the options to allow XP to 
see the Linux partition have permission issues as well as hidden extensions 
that can't be hidden. Dangerous trumps cheesy. It would seem grabbing what I 
need in XP partition from within Linux is the answer... is there something I've 
overlooked? I'm gunna get into virtualization at some point, but I'm just not 
ready to nuke XP, there are times it's the only thing I can get to work (like 
my Netbook internal 3G)
