dual-OS system



Hi,
 
 
As mentioned in my previous mail, I'll run a dual-OS system. Since l have only one drive, I'll divide it into two partitions, one for Win XP and one for Debian. I think this is a good way to start off. When one fails, I can use the other to troubelshoot via the Web. I forsee doing this a lot in the initial stage.
 
Question
1. How easy is it to switch from one OS to another? Is rebooting the only way?
2. Linux uses ext2 or ext3 filesystem, XP uses NTFS. Can files be swap between the two? More likely I wouldl be copying Linux file to XP, e.g. log files required for troubleshooting.
 
 
Cheers
 
Ken
