I wouldn't rely on this on a regular basis, but it seems to work well for the odd need: http://www.fs-driver.org/ OR http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
They will let windows read ext2 or ext3 partitions fs-driver's IFS solution says it allows writes as well, but I would exercise extreme caution and avoidance of non-native writes, if possible, to maintain maximal sanity :) Ben On 1/23/07, Jared Ubelhor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Your biggest problem is that Windows cannot understand Linux file systems, and Linux can only read NTFS. I work around this problem by having a third hard drive to store files on and trade between operating systems. Linux Drive - ext2/ext3/ReiserFS/whatever Windows - NTFS Third Drive - FAT32 This is also nice since it lets me nuke and pave at will to try other distros without worring about writing over my files. You might want to invest in a high capacity flash drive.
