hey,
i was wondering what would be the best solution for a shared data partition, it's a 100GB partition, and FAT is not an option, so should i use ext2 (or ext3) with one of the tools on windows? and which tool would you recommend I'm currently using ext2fsd to read my ext2 backup harddrive i think it has ext3 write support..
Or should i go the other way around and put my data on an NTFS partition, and if i do that is the NTFS write support stable by now.. it's been a long time since i dual booted so back then NTFS support was not really a good idea..

thank you in advance
