Dear Martin,
I did a simple test and found your comment to be very valid. I did the
following:

1) I booted into XP and created a file made_in_win.txt. Then suspended
XP to disk.
2) Switched on the machine and Grub gave me XP and Suse as choices and
I chose Suse.
    (choosing XP would have resumed the suspended WIndows session)
3) In the freshly booted Suse I can see the made_in_win.txt file. Now
I generated a new
    file in the same fat32 partition and called it made_in_linux.txt.
4) I shutdown Linux and restarted, chose the suspended XP and resumed it.
    The file made_in_linux.txt was not to be seen! As you said XP did
not realise it was
    created. However, when I shutdown XP and restarted it the file was
recognised. At least
   it was not lost.

Even with this situation, I would still be interested in having the
option to switch OS by
merely suspending to disk :-).

  Best regards,
  Pramod
