File Sharing between XP and OSX

Hi all, I have a quick question. How can I share files from XP to OSX? Is there a simple way? I suppose I can't partition the hard drive of my macbook twice; one for XP and the second one that I can have both XP and OSX connect to and read from? Any ideas?

Thank you!!!

Are the two on a network together or are you also curious about what medium to use?

No, the XP I'm running is done with BootCamp on the laptop. I have a new black macbook, and I installed a new version of XP on there; and I'm trying to figure out how to get the files I make with programs on XP to transfer to OSX.

Thanks!

Ah, I see! Well, you can always use a USB flash drive, formatted in FAT32 (MS-DOS) and drop your files in there. Or you could purchase a program called MacDrive for Windows, which will allow you to access your Mac's hard drive in Windows.

You could also look at VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop, which allow you to run Windows simultaneously with Mac OS and easily drag and drop files back and forth.
