Is it easier to view a drive from windows and linux if it is ntfs, or the linux file system? Because I want to access a drive from both OS. So basically is it easier to acess ntfs from linux or linux file system from windows?

Thanks

I think viewing fat32 from linux is easier and supported, however you can still read NTFS from linux but cannot write.
about viewing linux file system from windows http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net/

Ok thanks, maybe I should have installed windows on fat32 then. O well... maybe I can work around it

What I was doing when I had windows installed with linux, have your windows partition disk space only to serve he windows it self, and create another partition and make it fat32 so it will be the shared partition for my files between windows and Linux.
this will work for you, unless you need to access OS files.
