I have a 20 gb (ntfs) partition for windows xp on my macbook pro, and it would fantastic if I could share my itunes music folder under both OS's. I know parallels can do this easier, but I need the graphics processing that boot camp offers. Is there a way to share folders with bootcamp, and how do I do it?

I did my best to search for it but came up empty handed. Apparently this is less of a priority for boot camp users than I had originally thought.

Well you can use the program macdrive which can read the mac partition in windows. Then tell itunes that that's where all your music is. I never actually tried this cause I never thought of it until you just asked.

Mac osx can't write to NTFS, winblows can't read HFS+ so you've scuppered yourself by not choosing fat32 which is interoperable. I suggest changing the format if you can. Good luck.

Well, you can buy Paragon NTFS for Mac to make OSX capable to write for NTFS.

or use macfuse which is free!

I look into those options. I might end up just using an external hard drive.

I use bootcamp pretty much only to play LOTRO on my macbookpro when traveling, or at the beach house. MacDrive works great for doing what you are talking about. I run foobar behind my game, reading the music data from the mac partition.
