I have a dual boot set up on two hardrives, an 80gb for xp pro and a 40gb for redhat linux. is there an efficient way to transfer gobs of data from one system to the other without having to use removable storage? (ie i wish to transfer directly from one to the next)

You can mount NTFS (WinXP) under RedHat Linux BUT you need to re-compile your kernel to support NTFS since RedHat Linux doesn't support NTFS out of a box! (Why would they decide to do that since other distros do support NTFS out of a box, I have no stinkin' idea...) However, it only allows you to read it, not write to since writing to NTFS is in a REAL early testing stage. Don't recommand it at all unless you want to trash your NTFS partition!!!

What I have done in this situation is create a FAT-filesystem on my Windows drive mount the FAT-filesystem in Linux and voila, I just need to transfer the files to the FAT-filesystems to be available for both OS's

Yup, the FAT partition is the way.
NTFS support is not good enough for read write access under Linux, and MS is too lazy/selfish to even try to implement Linux filesystems.
You could use read only ntfs to move stuff from Windows to Linux.
