1. I have a FAT32 partition, which is r/w accessible from both OSes.
2. I have same version of postgres installed on linux and on w2k
(with cygwin support).
3. I have PGDATA set to same directory on the 'shared' disk.

Q.: Can I access my databases no matter which os I currently use?

I think that will work, seeing as how it's the same architecture in
both cases and only one instance of Postgres will be running at a time.
But I recommend not trusting it till you've tested it ... keep backups!
