In the Leopard version of Boot Camp can you share data between the two OS's like my music, video and stuff. And anything I change in OSX will be reflected in Windows (Vista) and visa versa?
OS X cannot write to NTFS without third party software and Windows cannot read or write to extended/UNIX filesystems (HFS+, EXT, etc.) without third party software. So, without installing anything extra, you can copy files from Windows while in OS X, but not the other way around.
If you have a FAT32 drive, then OSX can write files to that, but you still won't be able to copy to a Mac OS drive while in Windows. You may want to invest in a flash drive of some sort if you need to move data around.
So in other words... if I have all my pictures and music stored on an external drive... I can run iTunes on either computer and it'll read the music from the external drive? I don't need to put my music on both platforms??
MACyMouse, that actually sounds like a good idea, but NPuter is right... you'd have to tell iTunes where all of the music needs to go on both the Mac and PC side. Once that is all set, I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine! Just be sure the external drive is FAT32 formatted, not HFS.
No fear leavemealone, for there is a simple solution. On Windows, simply purchase or download MacDrive 7.10 from Mediafour. This program will let Windows read AND write to OS X partitions. As for the other way around, go here http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76246 for a great program that will let OS X write to NTFS, I've been using MacDrive for over a year now and I can assure you its the best thing thats happened to me. As for the other file (NTFS for Mac), it's still in Beta, but I have had no problems so far.
