I currently use a Boot Camp partition with Windows XP Pro SP2 that is 32GB, as accoridng to Boot Camp that is the max I can go, before unabling to access windows files on my Mac.

For example, if I download a file, and wanted to put that file on my Windows parition, I would place it in the Boot camp partition in my Mac, as I'd click Boot Camp and access the root fiels (such as Program Files and whatnot).

If I format a new partition that is larger then 32GB, thus using a different formation type, could I still access my windows files on my Mac?

If, for some reason, I cannot, would dragging the files using PARALLELS DESKTOP work?

You're talking about FAT32 and NTFS, and I can tell you right now there is NO reason to be using FAT32 now-a-days. Reformat to NTFS, make that partition as big as you want/need, and either get MacDrive (for Windows, there's no 64-bit version yet though), or do what Tallest Skil said.
