hey, i have a hardrive with linux on it installed.i jus recently got a spare 3 gig( haha its a joke i knw) and i put windows on it. how do i mount my linux hardrive so when i'm in windows, i can read my linux hardrive? i hope that's clear. so pretty much, when i'm in windows, it reads the other hardrive under device manager. but when i open my computer, it doesn't show up. thanx --------------------

Well. . .the short answer is no you can't.Windows can't read XFS.

Well. . .the short answer is no you can't.But you can get this proggy called explore2fs which will enable you to read and write to ext2 and ext3 from Windows. It's not a mount though, it's a file browser like program. I've used it to read stuff, but never to write. Use at own risk. http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm You can also get a filesystem driver at http://ashedel.chat.ru/ext2fsnt/ This I've never tried myself, but if you got the balls and it works, let us know mk? -------------------- quote: Originally posted by FS: Wow, I can't believe I'm agreeing with FS on this one

Never tried it, but yeah, it's had that support.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.
