Well, why would anyone need access to windows? Windows apps? Well,
identify which ones you can't run on linux, then see if win4lin or
vmware fits the bill. If not then I can understand the dilemma,
otherwise, keep all you data, while in linux, on the VFAT partition that
you share with your windows half. That way when you boot in to either
OS, it's on both.
