Hi everyone,

I have two OSes installed on my laptop, Ubuntu (hardy) and Vista,
which is set up to dual-boot on my machine (I currently have some
courses on MS Office and the likes so no wonder I have to keep Vista).
I want to access some documents on both OSes - so I plan on create a
partition to store my data and music...

The last time my solution was to create an ext3 partition and have
ext2fsd to install the ext3 driver on Vista and access that ext3
partition on Vista, but there were 2 limitations: 1, I can't execute
files which are larger than 2MB on that partition (it threw out an
error, device malfunction or something, but when I copy that file to
another partition it ran fine again) 2, If linux was not properly shut
down the driver would refuse to mount.

I thought about formatting the partition as NTFS but linux (ntfs-3g)
will refuse to mount my partition if windows is not properly shut
down.

My last resort was to format the partition as FAT32 but I could not
store any files which are larger than 4GB. This is so inconvenient
because I have some DVD ISO files to store.

Any suggestions to my problem? Thanks in advance.
