linux partition on XP

[Bevered]

hi all

i have mandrake 9.2 and windows xp on the same machine, in mandrake i can
see windows partition and read from it (NTFS) along with another two FAT32
Partitions, is there anyway i can see linux partitions from windows? either
by sofware or any tool?

thank you again

No. Linux can see ntfs but not the other way around. Although there are
experimental tools to *write* to ntfs, it is not recommended and can
hose everything. Use the FAT32 partition for shared data.

Nope. Use the FAT32 partitions for sharing files between your OSes.

There is a free utility that lets you read the files in a Linux partition
from NT. I used to use it when I was using NT4 and Mandrake Linux. It could
read but not write to the Linux partition. I'm not home and therefore do
not remember its name. Don't know if it would work under XP. You should ask
in a Linux forum.
