Dorchester Meetings before.  Of course Peter is working away these days, but 
he's otherwise in Weymouth.

I recall that there were a few more who came from reasonably close to 
Dorchester, but I can't put names to places.

I reckon we might be getting to the point where it's worth a vote :-)

Well, I work in Weymouth but live in Wareham
so a meeting Dorchester is workable for me.

I had tried to get to a couple there a few years ago, but managed to miss
everyone - both times :-(

cheers

[Dorset] ext2-3-4 on Win

2012-07-07 Thread StarLion
Greetings all,

For various reasons, I'm trying to access an EXT3 partition from Windows. I
know of several ways, the most notable of which being the ext2 IFS
(Linkhttp://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/),
but the IFS and most other solutions don't seem to work too well on Windows
7. Running the remaining options under 64-bit Win only seems to make things
worse.
I had thought that by working with Cygwin to gain a Unix-alike environment
would be able to solve this, but alas it relies on Windows for nearly all
of its filesystem needs - and since Windows cannot by default understand
EXT, neither can Cygwin.
So I'm in search of a means of accessing the partition that will work for a
change. Does anyone know of such a way, or should I start looking at other
means of access instead?

Thanks either way.

Hi!

Ext2 IFS /does/ work in Windows 7, but there's a trick you need to know. 
You need to use the Windows compatibility settings for the program's 
installer when you run it, and set it to be compatible with Windows 
Vista SP2. For some mysterious reason, this does the trick. I couldn't 
swear it works on 64 bit ... can't recall if I tried this. I think it 
will be OK though.


John
