Also I didn't know about the separate (2GB) root partition - thankyou for that too.
This may actually be what you meant, but will clarify best way just in case there is any confusion.You don't actually want LL's full /home to be on that data partition. LL's /home will have not only data files in it, but also program config files. Since you want the data partition to be shared with Windows it must be formatted as either NTFS or FAT32, neither of which handle Linux permissions/ownership of files the way Ext4 does and that could cause problems if you try to make /home on that partition.
I suggested to use Windows XP on Youtube? Where is this video? No one should be running XP unless it is offline (not connected to the internet, or lan) regardless of 'tips and tricks' etc. Just plain not safe.
