I think you would be better of on a non FAT partition. My guess is things
like NTFS and non-brand alternatives can cope better with filenames.

Hmm, after another read, you mean two English oriented OS's. That's can
probable be done with no problems. Maybe a bit more info, escpecially which
OS's you have in mind, will get you a non-probable answer.

Trying to justify to get one of those hundreds GB hardisk, I thought of
retrying a  multi-boot system.

I could find a lot of information on how to do it, but no answer to the
previous problem I had.  I was using a multiboot english-japanese system.
The problem was when the system did a scan disk, it would identify valid
non-english file as corrupt file.  So after repeated skipping scan-disk when
system-crash, the directory and FAT were corrupted and a wasted system.

Can this happen to a multi-boot English OS? and anyone has solution to the
problem above?  Thanks!

Cheers, Ling SM
