Hey guys.. I am in need of some files on my linux drive. I am dual booting Mandrake 10.1 and Win 2000. I am in search of a utility that will enable me to browse the EXT2 partion (mainly the home partition).
As far as I know, there is no tool in windows that accesses ext2 partitions. However, as musicman_ace said, you can mount the drive in linux and then copy the files. Thats the only way.
I hope you don't have NTFS partitions in windows, otherwise you may not get write-access while mounting
If only it were that simple.... Currently the linux kernal does not support writing to the NTFS file system.... I will try to copy it to my other machine via the network.. Thanks guys... BTW this place is great.
Once I remembered where I'd saved it to on the network machine I found the file I needed... Thanks guys... Anyone here sucessfully running Itunes on linux?
