Default Dual Boot OS and sharing files.
Hi.

If I were to do a dual-bbot system would files on another drive be shared (both OS' can access and run) by the two OS' ?

I am considering:

1 HDD - Vista and XP
1 HHD - My documents, Games, Music, blah, blah blah...

It would be greatly appreciated for any input and suggestions on my desired setup. I essentially want 1 computer with 2 OS' (not necessarily RAID).

Thanks for your time.

that should work fine. i don't know if you could point both "my docs" folder to one folder on the data drive, but even so they would both be able to read it and use it just fine.
