Hi DDarko!

I have a machine that's dual-booting Windows 2000 and Linux (Fedora Core 2, actually). My plans were similar to yours. I have a 160GB disk with one 20GB Linux partition and one similar for Windows. I didn't want to use FAT32 on a 100+GB partition with all my precious data (for some reason ). I don't trust the Linux solutions for writing to an NTFS partition either, but I found a solution that's the other way round:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd
Ext2fsd is a driver for Windows to read (and write) to an ext2 partition. This way I can mount the same partition in both Windows and Linux with a reasonably good file system. Haven't found any problems with it (yet ). I'm not much of a Windows power-user but I managed to get it installed with the instructions supplied. If I could, then you definitely can!

Good luck!
Martin
