Windows does not, and probably never will have native support for any filesystem other than the Microsoft's filesystems. The key word is native, and you are correct on that point. There was work going on to add ext2 support to Windows (probably as an add on). I ventured on that as I was doing research for a paper I was writing. Here is the home page for Explore2fs: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm Native IO is now the default for NT based operating systems. The version now has experimental support for LVM2 which is used by default by RHEL4 and FC3. Only linear stripes are supported at the moment. This version can also detect ReiserFS and will display a warning that This Program Can NOT Read ReiserFS.
