No, as far as I know, windows won't read any extended file systems, although I seem to remember playing with some sketchy driver packages that would let you read an ext1 or ext2 linux formatted drive on windows XP. You might try googling but I don't remember having any luck when I was playing with it.
It's unfortunate there isn't at least basic support for file systems other than ntfs built right into windows. Best, Erik Burggraaf This month in Ebony Promos: Two new gps systems for demo.
