Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
I have a dual boot laptop which runs Windows (because I need Outlook and Visio and a number of other programs for work) and Ubuntu (most recently) Linux for work development stuff while on the move. For various reasons I have about 15GB NTFS for Windows 2000 and about 25GB ext3 for Linux. Quite often, I found I wanted to be able to access the data on the Linux partition from within Windows. Up until recently I've been using explore2fs and ext2ifs for accessing the Linux partition - but it was strictly read-only.
Today I have been introduced to Ext2fsd (Extended Second File-System Driver) which allows me read and write access to the Linux ext3 partition. I am a happy camper. Thanks to diamond for pointing me in the direction of such a useful tool.
