I have MacOS snow leopard and Windows 7 installed on same hard drive(on a iMac). I want to have a folder that is shared between them where I can write data, not only read. Is this possible? On windows partition MacOS says that I don't have permission to write and on Mac partition Windows says same thing.

Thanks!

If you create a Fat32 partition from either mac or windows you should be able to both read and write to it from either OS.

Ok, I will try. The problem is with write access not with partition type because Windows can read from Mac partition and Mac can read from Windows partition. – Felics Feb 27 '11 at 12:28
@Felics: the lack of write access is due to the partition type (or more accurately, the limited support for those partition types under the other OS). – Gordon Davisson Feb 27 '11 at 18:32
