If you go that route, it's easiest to start with XP, install Vista, and
then put Linux in last. Don't forget to plan your disk usage in advance:
XP and Vista can share the same "data" drive, but remember that Linux is
only able to _read_ from NTFS partitions, so you might want to choose
FAT32 for drives that will be shared between Windows and Linux.

HTH.

That's strange, I seem to be able to read/write to all the NTFS disks on
my system from within Linux. I have Linux on a separate HDD on my main
desktop machine and there are also 3 NAS drives on the network, all are
accessible from both my Linux machines.
