[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1015356, member: 24098"] Boot Camp 3.0 adds read accessibility to the Mac partition while running Windows. Additionally, there is Read/Write support for NTFS built into 10.6, but it has to be done through a change in the Terminal. Alternatively, you can use MacFUSE/NTFS3G or Paragon NTFS to do the same, with more robust support. The 32GB limit that is often spoken of is artificially enforced by Windows for FAT32 partitions. In reality, FAT32 can support partition sizes into the TB range. But for best performance, you'll want NTFS - and with Paragon NTFS it's completely seamless both in OS X and in Windows, since Paragon has added full HFS+ read/write support in Windows. Enable two finger tapping in Boot Camp control panel in Windows and you'll have a right mouse button just as you would in OS X. Probably because the partition size is so limited. OS X is generally rock solid with 20% of the volume's size available. [/QUOTE]
