Reclaiming Hard Drive Space

[Randy Rathbun]

Why not just mount them as vfat? Granted, they wont be native linux drives,
but you can still use them. That is how I have my machine at home set up -
I have a 2.8 and a 1.6 GB drive that I went ahead and used FAT32 on. I use
them to write mp3s to. That way they are available to both Linux and
Windows if I need them to be. I find that the Ramones played at a very high
decibel level helps remove the pain of using Windows :)....

It looks like you may need access to stuff this way as well with having 3
OSs on it.
