File systems


Here's one for you problem solvers...

My box just recently crashed due to a fault in Windows... I still don't know why but yadda yadda... Anyways, when it decided to go away, I used a live CD to save my music onto my other hard drive in my computer with an reiser file system. What I'm trying to do now is to move the files on the reiser filesystem onto the windows drive... The catch is, the windows drive is NTFS.

I'm curious if I could change the filesystem of the reiser to FAT32 or something like that or if anyone else has any ideas. Thanks

-Kyle

if you changed it to ext2 or maybe there is a utility for reiserfs. I used ext2fs utility for windows, to access my linux partitions from window. Read only, but that's all you need. There has to be a reiserfs for windows utility on the internet, probably. Search for it. Or use the ext2 one, and compensate, I know that one exists.

Good luck!

It is not possible, as far as I know, to convert reiserfs to FAT32. You could, however, try Captive NTFS, which uses the Windows NTFS driver for read-write support to the NTFS partition. YMMV.
