You can write to dos and all kinds of vfat (there are several ;-). If
you want to share a partition between M$ and linux the best solution is
to make a vfat32 partition that both can mount and read/write to.
Otherwise you can read from ntfs in linux and there are tools (both gui
and command line) to read ext2 (and thus ext3) and reiserfs. IIRC you
can also write to ext2 using the tool (don't remember the name) but not
sure about that.
