I´ve just bougth a MBP and in this moment a wanted to make 3 partition of my 120HD one for OS one for Win and the other for just files. Then a saw that booth camp make a partition for win with out having to reinstal the OS. OK, that´s not an issue any more. Now the third partition. I tought making this partition because I have allway work with a files-only HD on my PC´s, I know this ist not necessarly with Mac but if I´m planning to use Win and OS it would be cool to have a file-HD which I can use with win and OS. Does it work like that? and other quiestion which format should I use for the file-only HD, free space??.

FAT32 is readable by both Windows and Mac OS X.
