I just recently installed Windows XP on my BootCamp partition and it works well. I mainly did it as a means of testing the websites I create via Windows versions of IE 8 and Firefox 3. It would be really nice if I could work on my local website files under Windows, too, but while I find that I can *read/edit* those files on the Macintosh partition, I cannot save/write them. Is this because WinXP cannot read HFS+ (Journaled) volumes? Should I create an entirely new (third) partition for those files to live on so they can be accessed both by Windows and by MacOS?
One good thing is I use FileZilla under Windows and it works really nicely.

Why don't you run Windows in a VM? Windows does not support writing to HFS+ volumes, but if you were doing this in a VM you could share files between both environments in a whole host of ways.

Shouldn't the latest version of Bootcamp Manager allow Read & Write access to HFS partitions ?

It may only work if you are using Vista or 7. Don't quote me on that though.

That's possible.
It doesn't work for me with Windows 7 because Apple ****ed something up. It did work for me with Vista in the past.

The file system in XP can't do anything with HFS+-it can't even SEE an HFS+ partition as a partition. There is software that lets this happen though, but I can't recall the name of it. Unless I'm thinking in the opposite direction...

Hold on a sec. I definitely *can* read files on the Mac partition while booted under WIndows XP -- I just can't save them. What accounts for that?

Boot Camp v3 (the one with Snow Leopard) allows Windows XP/Vista/7 to read the Mac partition but you can't save to it.

I misunderstood. Sorry.

I return to my original question, why not use a VM? Virtualbox works great, and is also free.
