XP can read your Linux Ext2/3 file system

This is way cool. A freeware app that enables XP to read Linux ext2/3 file systems. If you are (like me) trying to convert to Linux as your default OS, it makes a lot of sense to store all your data in Linux and then give Windows a way to access if you occasionally need to.

I haven’t actually installed this yet. I’m bookmarking it here for the next time I’m in Windows.

    I found that linux can read both FAT32 drives and USB jump drives. Since I’ve got a 512 MB one, I use the jump drive to transfer stuff back and forth.
