I have a 2gb pendrive with me. I then formatted it with ext3 file system. It works well in linux. Is there any way so that I could use it iin windows too.............

Did you not try asking a search engine for your answer?

Just format it to fat32 - I can't think of any reason why ext3 would be better suited for a 2gig pendrive... the whole purpose of the thing is that you can just pop it in anywhere.

Windows does have an "Installable File System" (IFS) capability, as does any modern well-bred operating system. It certainly has drivers for ext2/ext3.
