Hi all,

New to the list, so apologies if I stuff this somehow....

It is possible to have read/write access to linux ext2 filesystems from Windows
on a dual boot machine.  I haven't played with these myself, but I can point
you to this article:

http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-2001-01/lw-01-legacy.html

which gives a general overview of the different methdos and tools available for
connectivity between windows and linux partitions/shares either on a network or
on a dual boot box.

Hopes this helps

Ben Keith
