Note: On NTFS formatted hard disks can only be written under Windows
000 / XP / Vista. Under MacOSX data can only be read.
The example above is a good solution for Windows 2000 / XP / Vista users who some-
times exchange data with Macs.
For storing the data under Windows 2000 / XP / Vista both partitions can be used. As the
NTFS file system can only be read by Mac data to be used on these operating systems
must be stored on the FAT32 partition.
