[Newlug] NTFS or FAT32 ?

Hi guys/gals,

I am trying to decide which filesystem
to store my collection of music and video.

Currently I'm running linux and xp in a 
dual-boot machine. Currently I have a secondary
hard drive formatted as NTFS through a previous
install of Win2kpro. Curiously, my drive is un-
accessible through xp, but read-only from slack.

I haven't heard of windows supporting the ext2/3
or reiserfs. On the other hand, I've heard that
FAT32 is inherently insecure, and that NTFS support
under linux is poorly supported.

If anyone had 2 cents they'd like to throw at me,
I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks,
Andrew M
