I used a trial version of vmware for win nt some years ago, and I was able to boot and use FreeBSD from a 2nd hard disk. I had originally installed that particular FreeBSD as standalone on a spare PC using its standard UFS filesystem.

Re: FreeBSD in Windows.....
What about installing vmware (on XP), then install FreeBSD in vmware, and mounting it that way? Maybe a lot of trouble, but at least he'd be able to get at the data. If my understanding of vmware is correct that shouldn't work, couldn't work. Vmware is just an x86 emulator which sits on top of windows, the OS working in VMware should be unaware that it is running in an emulator and shouldn't have direct access to any of the host computer's resources. If the host system is unable to mount a file system then the operating system in vmware should also be unable to mount it. First because it is unaware that it exists and second because vmware uses the host system's resources and anything which is inaccessible to the host system would also be inaccessible to the emulated system. It is possible, as VMWare allows the guest systems direct access to the disks. I did complete buildworlds within VMWare on the same file system I use, when I boot FBSD directly. There is also generic SCSI-Support which allows access to SCSI-devices for the guest system.

I had to network the operating systems using 2 ethernet ports. The looped cable made my ibook look funny; but MS Access could link to the databases in OS X via ODBC through the connection. Samba shouldn't be any different. Each operating system had a different ethernet interface configured to the same network so they can communicate with each other. Since Win98 insisted on recognizing both ethernet interfaces at bootup, the Win98 side of the ethernet interface used by OS X had to be configured to a different network. Clear as mud?

That won't help the OP. He's asking how to access a FreeBSD UFS _on the same computer_ while running Windows. Unless you can purchase a Windows UFS driver somewhere out there, this is not possible. The recommended way to share files from FreeBSD to Windows on a dual-boot OS is to use a FAT partition which can be mounted on both OSes. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
