The best solution if you want to use ntfs for windows is probably to create a small vfat partition to use to transfer files. Linux can read ntfs with no problems. but write support is experimental and dangerous. So far as Windows is concerned, I am not aware of any applications which would allow it to read any of the usual Linux file systems other than ext2. A search on Google may turn you up some useful results. However, as I understand ext3 is basically ext2 with a journal explore2fs (which was suggested in a previous reply) may be able to operate on such a partition.
Dual-booting is a great idea whilst you experiment with Linux, though after a while you may well find your Windows partition can be put to better uses. Darryl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
