Hey everyone. I currently have Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP installed on my laptop. I really don't use Windows, but I store all my files in the Windows partition because I can access them from both Ubuntu and Windows.

I now want to install Hackintosh (iAtkos) on my laptop, but because I rarely use Windows, I want to delete it. So, here goes my question... If I put all my files on the Mac partition, will I be able to access them from Ubuntu? If I put all my files on the Ubuntu partition, will I be able to access them from Mac? Or would you recommend creating a separate NTFS partition to store my files there? Can both OS's read files from NTFS? Sorry for the noobish question, but I really want to know before installing the Mac..

Thanks to anyone that helps!

Linux should be able to see the mac partition.

Thanks! So, you wouldn't recommend creating a blank NTFS partition to store my files in there?
