If you do this, make sure you don't try to use maildir format mail 
folders in your /home partition - this is particularly the case if you 
use KMail which now defaults to maildir in ~/Mail. FAT32 can't handle 
the ':' character used in the filenames of maildir messages.

The suggestion of someone else to make a symlink from your Windows 'My 
Documents' folder to an equivalent in your /home partition (such as the 
more sensible 'Documents') is a good one.
