I recently converted one of two partitions on a USB hard-drive I have from NTFS to EXT2 so I could use it on my Linux machine, which means I can no longer even browse it on my Windows XP (SP2) machine. I'd like to have that capability, so I did some internet searches and discovered that there is software available that will allow you to read (and even write) to an EXT2 hard drive partition on a Windows machine. Not sure if I'd ever need to actually write to it from Windows, but being able to view data and maybe pull files off of it from the Windows machine would be sort of nice. Anyone have any experience with any of this type of software? I tried installing one of them that I found that was freeware (I think it was called EXT2FS), but couldn't figure out how to operate it, so I ended up trashing it. Maybe it was good software and I was just too dumb to figure out how to operate it, but when I tried to install it, I couldn't see that anything actually happened. After the install, clicking on the various exe's that came with it didn't seem to do anything either. I would like to think there's something out there with at least some rudimentary GUI front-end, but maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. Worst case, if it came with at least some rudimentary operating instructions, that would be better than nothing. Suggestions anyone? Thanks, Greg Wallace
