Insatling windows on second drive?

[rpaloalto]

Soon to be mac pro owner,
I want to have my windows installed on a second drive.
I have some concerns of being able to transfer files, between the two drives.
I'm more concerned with the ability, to send files from the xp drive to my osx drive, for use in osx. I have seen some info on the different drive formats, being not so friendly.

OS X will be able to read your Windows drive, but not write to it. Windows will not be able to read or write to your OS X drive.

MacDrive allows Windows to read/write (if you dare) your Mac-formatted volumes and Paragon NTFS will allow OS X to write to your NTFS-formatted ones.

I've never used Paragon but have had only good experiences with MacDrive.

OS X can read/write FAT32 volumes, so you could always run Windows with FAT32 instead of NTFS.
