Martin. FFS driver is doing the trick perfectly, it took a couple of reboots before I got it to work (only used hibernation in Windows since I installed FreeBSD so Windows didn't see the partition yet.) I haven't tried UFS2tools.sourceforge.net yet, but I will definitely try.

I have used that driver few times for accessing FreeBSD partitions. Works great. At least I haven't encountered any real problems with it. The usage of the management tool was a bit tricky at first, but once you get to know the numbering scheme, there should be no problems. The driver creates a drive letter under the Windows system and all files are accessible via normal File Explorer functions. The management tool is used to load the driver and mount/unmount partitions (there is no installation of any drivers to the operating system, which is great IMHO). -Matti ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

These also looks promising (the first two hits from a ufs windows Google search): http://ufs2tools.sourceforge.net/ http://www.shareup.com/UFS_Explorer-download-27543.html The former is BSD-licensed and the latter is shareware but potentially more full-featured. I haven't used either. JN ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
