I remember reading in this months Linux Journal or Sys Admin about a Windows ext2 or 3 file system driver. If I find out that it is different from what Ben posted I will post that information.
Depending on which version of Fedora Core you are on you may be able to read NTFS volumes and maybe write too them as well. http://www.fedorafaq.org/#ntfs Do look at the Linux NTFS webpage and wiki. http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ Read the Linux NTFS FAQ as well. The simple thing may be to just use the 3rd disk. On 1/23/07, Ben Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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. > > > > On 1/23/07, Ben Barrett < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > > > On 1/23/07, Harald Sundt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I have a Laptop with 2 partitions: > > > > > > Windows XP > > > > > > Fedora Linux > > > > > > In Windows,... how do I read data files on my Linux partition > > > > > > This is very difficult if the linux partition is not in a format that Windows can understand. > > If linux was installed on a FAT partition you should be seeing it already....
