There used to be a filesystem for Windows that let you use ext2 partitions, but I don't know if that has been kept up to date (either with linux's ext2 drivers and tools, or with new versions of windows). You might want to consider just running windows in a virtual machine inside Linux. That way it could access your Linux filesystem in a limited way that you specify, or network via Samba. Samba would also be an option if you had a second machine to run the windows instance on, but I'm guessing you don't. There are probably a number of other options that I can't think of right now :) -- Lee Braiden http://www.DigitalUnleashed.com
