Win2K w/NTFS and Rehat w/EXT3

I posted a fairly recent HOWTO on this forum a while back on dual booting the two...You might wanna check that out.

Anyways, Linux can read NTFS for instance:
$ mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/win

Windows CANNOT read ext3. Doesn't even recognize it as a partition

Linux CAN write to NTFS partitions...But your distro might not configure it that way for you

Disk reads/writes are kernel-level operations. That's why you won't find a way to read Linux partitions on Windows. If you really want to, you can format your Linux partition as NTFS...

in the linux kernel it has a warning inall caps saying dangerous to write to ntfs, i but it is fine to read form it

look in how to compile a kernel then you have to make a mount point then you need to put an entry in fstab to rap ot all up."your best bet it to find somebody that has done it before close to you. iti si much easier to do once you have somebody show you how to.

Well, I've been digging, and have found a few utilities that apparently <i>do</i> allow you to read (and maybe even write) EXT2. One of them also allows the reading of EXT3.

Thanks for all your ideas anyhow.
