SOLVED: Using NTFS as Shared Partition on dual boot machine?

[blackpaw]

I'm setting up a dual boot Hardy/XP system that needs to share a lot of data (video files) between the different boot systems. The data will reside on a physically different drive (not the boot drive).

Would formatting the data drive as NTFS be a problem? that way Both Linux and Windows XP can read/write it.

Is the Linux NTFS driver stable enough now? how about performance?

Thanks - Lindsay
