I suggest Reiserfs. I feel it is superior to ext3. I have my lappy using
ext3 and it has to check itself every 21 starts or so and it is annoying and
always seems to happen at inopportune times.

Is there any particular reason why you have to keep the whole drive as NTFS?
Can't you just allocate one NTFS partition for MS-Windows XP, and format
the others to be something more Linux-native, like ext3 or ReiserFS?
