Thanks Mike M,
WinXP (Fat 32) would be able to read/write to all partitions OK?
(Files raised in the NTFS and transferred to a Fat32 partition, or vice
versa)
Not too concerned about losing sight of 40Gb while In WinME, as long as I
can retain control when in WinXP.

Win Me, in common with all of the Win 9x operating systems, cannot
natively either read or write NTFS volumes.

I have 2 x 80Gb Hard Drives Partitioned with Partition Magic V8.01.
Drive 1 :
"C" Fat 32 - WinXP Home - 20 Gb
"C" Fat 32 - WinME (hidden) - 20 Gb
"E" Fat 32 - Data - 40Gb
Drive 2 :
"D" Fat 32 - Data - 40 Gb
"F" Fat 32 - Data - 40 Gb
I use "F" for CDR recording , but would like to use it for DVD as
well. To overcome the Fat32, 4Gb file limit? can I convert "F" to NTFS,
and
still be able to swap files between partitions ?
(Could the NTFS partition be accessed when booted to WinME?)
