You could leave the partition as NTFS, but you would only be able to read data off of the NTFS partitions. If you wanted to share files, both Read and Write, then you would either create a FAT32 partition, or I do believe there are some NTFS projects out there on Freshmeat or Sourceforge that would give Linux the ability to Read and Write data to an NTFS partition. I haven't done the later, but I would be curious to know if anyone else out there has been able to do this.
