On my laptop, I pulled this off using three partitions:
1)  Windows XP - FAT32 partition
2)  Fedora Core 6 - ext3 partition
3)  My Documents/home folder - ext2 partition

In case you didn't know, Linux can access FAT32 by default (and there are 
plugins for NTFS, though I'm not sure how great they are at this point in 
time), and there are drivers for Win2K/WinXP to access ext2/ext3 partitions 
out there.  I use ext2 on my home folder because I noticed that periodically, 
the Win2k driver has issues with ext3.
