Better still - make sure you have a mix of FAT and NTFS/etc partitions. Given that most platforms in the known world can not only read and write FAT but also fix and recover it relatively reliably. NTFS also can't be defragmented, although it doesn't fragment as badly as FAT under w98. And FAT is quicker for games, etc and can be shared between different windows (and other platforms).
