windows doesn't care that linux excists

29th July 2003, 18:42

I need a program that lets you read, write and copy files on the linux partition of my harddrive but runs in windows. So I don't need to reboot that much to shuflle files around.
Windows explorer isn't enable to do this

No rush,

windows can't find/read linux-partition
it isn't that simple

Can you explain why you need to copy files from windows to linux ?
I mean, having a 3th partition makes your files accesible in whatever OS you boot into, reducing shuffling around.

In which format are you going to format your Data partition? Windows only uses fat/ntfs, Linux doesn't like ntfs (dunno about fat).

4 - 5 years i tried different linux distro's.
Neither of them had problems mounting a fat - partition.
I used it mainly to try out linux-office-suits. With the linux suits i could open and alter MS office documents on the data partition.

a google search turned up "explore2fs", it does the trick

and again there was no rush

is a great program, however don't know if it works for EXT3 or REISERFS partitions

doesnt windows like being at the beginning of the drive too? so as bowser said having linux before widnwos wouldnt work?

i prefere explore2fs because it's freeware and it can read EXT3, only writing is still experimental but they are working on it.
