OS reading different partitions - Question

Hey Guys

I was trying to search to see if i can resolve this question, but so far i have not found anything, maybe someone here can help me.

For this question, assume that the internal hard drive will be running Snow Leopard and Windows 7.

If i was to partition an internal hard drive to run Mac OSX Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and have a 3rd partition formatted in FAT 32, would the operating systems be able to read the FAT32 partition as a separate writable hard drive?

For example, if i was booted into Snow Leopard, would i be able to see the FAT32 partition as a writable hard drive on the desktop?

If yes, would this mean that i would be able to deposit data in the FAT32 partition, that can be accessed by either operating system when booted into?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Okay, i thought i would give some feedback from my own experience since no one seemed to know...

The Mac OS will read all of the internal partitions, even that of the Windows 7 NTFS formatted one. the partitions appear as separate hard drives on the desktop.

however, i was not able to as yet see the partitions when booted into windows 7. i know that it would not be able to see the Mac partition as it cannot read HFS+, but i was expecting it to see the FAT32 partition.... which was not the case.

Cool. I really wasn't sure, which is why I didn't answer.
Thanks for trying it out and posting back.

yeah, hahaha, no prob, just have to figure out how to get the windows OS to see the FAT32 partition now

YES

Ok, i have found out how to do this to get the FAT32 partition seen in Windows if it does not show up.

I'll post it as a link below, but credit has to go the the members of Seven Forums, especially that of "whs". His tutorial video linked in the thread, helped so much.

I hope anyone with this kind of issue will have it resolved now
