The NTFS driver FAQ lists four projects for reading ext2/3 for windows: Taken from http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html#3.2 # explore2fs - http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm * Home page: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm * For Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. # ext2fsd - http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/ * Home page: http://www.tuningsoft.com/projects/projects.htm * For Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. # winext2fsd - http://sourceforge.net/projects/winext2fsd/ * Home page: winext2fsd project page * Reportedly works on Windows NT and Windows XP, likely also on Windows 2000. # ext2forxp - http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2forxp/ * Home page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2forxp/ * In early stages, not ready for use yet (June 4th, 2003). The question is: does anybody use any of this? Regards, Helge _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
