Get acces to your files in Linux from Windows

This article is especially for people who use dualboot Windows+Linux. By default you can't read files situated in the Linux ext3 partition from Windows. Maybe you solved it by restarting Windows and booting Linux but you don't have to do it anymore. Fortunately there is a way how to get into your Linux partition. All you need to do is to download and install this utility http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html. As you can see, it's for Windows newer than Windows NT 4.0 including Windows XP and Windows Vista. Than follow the instructions or these screenshots.

Hope this was helpful for you.

  1. there are also crossmeta drivers but they are a pain. IFS is the best and most people I know use ext3 anyway. =)
