Vista can use an XP formatted disk with no problems.
I did notice the name.

: My question being, will WinXP Pro SP2 properly read the data disc if, I
use
: WinVista Ultimate to format the disc, and redirect all (data, and temp)
: folders to the disc? And redirect equivalent folders in XP Pro SP2 to
point
: to those folders too? I know it will work the other way around.

: If not, I have a separate data disc for each OS.
