Hi, Yeah I know windows cant doit natively but I thought there might be possible something through vmware and virtual windows because vmware has drivers for a lot of stuff and is itself a mac application, or throug sharing folders but now I seem to remember that that only works from vmware windows to the mac side (it has been quite a while though since I played with this).
Greetings, Anouk,

No, as far as I know, windows won't read any extended file systems, although I 
seem to remember playing with some sketchy driver packages that would let you 
read an ext1 or ext2 linux formatted drive on windows XP.  You might try 
googling but I don't remember having any luck when I was playing with it.

It's unfortunate there isn't at least basic support for file systems other than 
ntfs built right into windows.

Hi Erik, eventually I want to convert the disk to extended journal encrypted 
but i guess I would have to format it for that and loose al the data so that 
will have to wait.
Do you have any idea if it is possible topatch such a drive into vmware fusion 
so that I can then read it in windows

Mac OS can read NTFS, but it can't write to them.  If you want full access to 
the drive it needs to be FAT32, although, I've got a 2TB external formatted 
FAT32 here so I can share it between mac and windows, and I'm not very happy 
with the performance.

Hi everyone,
I have a 1.5tb external drive that has been formatted into ntfs and is 1/4 full 
with ebooks audiobooks radiodramatv series music etc etc. However when my mac 
arrives I am planning to go over to that entirely and only use windows for 
training courses. But, can lion read ntfs drives, otherwise I have a problem.
Thanks in advance,
Greetings, Anouk,
