Fedora and Win2k dual boot.

Hi,

I apologize that this is more general-Linux than Fedora specific.

I have a dual boot set-up of Fedora and Win2k.  The Win2k is for the odd time 
I may need it.  When I setup the computer, I first partitioned the harddisk 
into three (via the Win2k installation): a NTFS partition, and two blank 
partitions.  When I installed Fedora, I formatted the second partition as 
ext3 (for the installation).  I also thought I'd be "clever" and format the 
third partition as VFAT (with label /shared) so that both Win2k and Fedora 
can access it (I heard that was possible).  Anyway, I wasn't as clever as I 
thought.  The Win2k installation still sees this partition as unformatted. 
Does anyone know how I can Win2k to see this linux formatted partition?

Thanks much.
