Anyone here running a guest OS on their Macintels yet?

I'm in a bit of a dillema over whether to format for FAT32 of NTFS.

After doing a lot of questions on the Apple discussions site, I now know the difference between the two and their advantages/ disadvantages etc.

What I really need to know is if I format my partition using Boot Camp with NTFS, I can share files via a USB memory stick rather than file sharing from within the machine/ drive, which NTFS disallows if the two different OS's are on the same drive Confused

Any suggestions folks?

I would think if your USB thumb drive isn't NTFS, but FAT16/32 instead, it'd be readable by most any OS. I guess the question would be: is 128MB enough for sharing? I don't think there's any major difference you'd feel between the two versions. Unless you made 1 partition for windows (NTFS), and 1 partition for Data/Sharing (FAT).

Linux is very close to NTFS compatibilty, so maybe MAC wouldn't be too far behind.

I just got this rather excellent link sent to me via the Apple site;

It looks pretty cool

You could try building linux-ntfs, which aparently works on OSX.

i've done it now. Two partitions. One OSX, one XP. The system works great. Everyone at work went WOW! After they saw my MBP in action Very Happy

I formatted my external Firelite pocket HD as FAT32 via Apple disc utility. I suppose what I really should have done is had 3 partitions; one Mac OS, one NTFS and the other FAT32- but I haven't got time right now, anyway, I'm waiting for Parallels to improve their 3D graphics acceleration capability- somewhat lacking at the moment Sad

ho-hum...
