As a precaution so that I don't accidently write to my NTFS partition, i had a crazy thought. Could I make a ~10gb "common" FAT32 partition? As in, windows and linux can both read/write? Or, if linux can't write to it, at least I'd fry that instead of windows.
So that way, if I had something I wanted to share, I could drop it into the common partition, boot into the other OS, and then drag it into the native partition.
I already have that much free space waiting there (meant it to be swap part for linux, but oops) and my HD is pretty roomy so I can afford the hit.
