how to access linux files from windows
the "mount" command can be used to access the windows drives(FAT,FAT32,NTFS) from linux. is it possible to access linux files from windows 2000 or xp?
PS: i have a 3ghz p4 machine with windows 2000 installed in c-drive, xp in d-drive and fedora core 3 in the remaining space. windows uses NTFS filesystem and fd3 uses ext3 filesystem. |
don't. use a shared fat32 partition if you want to share data. blame Micro$oft...
but... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=419223 |

If you just want to see your Linux file system and copy files from it to your Windows partition while you are running Windows, have a look at Explore2fs from http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm. If you want to regularly transfer files between Linux and Windows, the best option has already been suggested (a fat32 shared partition).
Dang, I should have read the linked thread - it's already there... |
Easiest solution:
Data partition formatted FAT32. Easy read/write access from boht Linux and Windows. Ideally, put this data partition on a separate physical drive. |
not for ext3

Just a point on FAT32 - it doesn't support symlinks.
