Is there any way to prevent Spotlight from indexing BootCamp's Windows XP partition?
I made a 5GB FAT32 partition for Windows, and Spotlight wants to search it now when I look for something.
The Spotlight preference pane won't accept the Windows volume as a privacy volume. There is no way to add the volume to the privacy list (won't stick). Others on Apple's discussion board have noted the same issue.
Any suggestions?

I think the solution would be to write a script that unmounts the windows partition at login. I do not know how to do this, though.
