Accessing your Linux partitions from Windows

One method to share files between Windows and Linux is to install 3rd party software for Windows to gain access to your Linux partitions. Windows itself does not have any support for non-Microsoft filesystems. Your first option are simple file browsing applications:

• rfsgui - File browser for Windows that can read ReiserFS partitions. ReiserFS is the filesystem that most Linux distributions use.
• explore2fs - a simple file browser for Windows that can read ext2fs or ext3fs partitions. ext3fs is what Fedora and Red Hat use.

There are also some drivers available that treat Linux partitions as if they were native to Windows. I do not recommend these for production use. They may crash your system.

• ext2fsd - a read/write driver for Windows to mount ext3fs disks
• ext2ifs - a read only driver for Windows to mount ext3fs disk.
