Problem
I will be buying a 2TB hard drive soon, and would like to use it as media storage. I would like to be able to read/write from both Windows (version 7, 64bit) and Ubuntu Linux, and I need support for files greater than 4GB in size (so I think this rules out FAT32). I'm using IFS drives at the moment…

Low Risk
There are tools for using ext* under windows... but I would recommend NTFS as the *x-driver is quite stable nowadays.
