sharing between red hat & windows

Comment:
I have just installed Red Hat 8 and Windows XP Pro as a dual boot system.
1) I have 3 partitions. A Windows Parition NTFS (20GB), a Linux Partition (20GB) and a RAW partition (40GB). I want to convert the RAW to FAT so I can read & write to that partition from both OS's but FAT only allows me to have about 2GB. How can I set it so I can read/write and have it 40GB in size?
2) When I start my computer it comes up with a Red Hat screen where I can choose which OS to open with. At the moment the defult is Red Hat how do I make the defalt Windows?
