I've been meaning to ask this question for sometime now..
Is it possible to access (read/write) my Linux partition from Windows? If so, how?
This would be sooooooooo helpful.
Is this what you are looking for? (http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net/)
If not, this was the second result on a Google search for "Read Write Ext3 FROM Windows" (http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm). ::)
I personally wouldn't want Windows messing with my Linux partition. But I'm insane.

Ahh, cool, exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks!~!
EDIT: I'm going to keep this link here for when I switch to Windows.

And you'd want Linux messing with your Windows partition? It seems to me that the reverse would be much more liable. ext2/3 is open source. It's documented. Coding an NTFS driver is practically poking in the dark. Sure, I suppose you can disassemble it, but I don't think that does much good for a large-scale project without lots and lots of time: something a project intended to be a hobbiest pasttime doesn't really have.

You know me all too well, MyndFyre. 8).
Sidoh: I suppose you are right. I hadn't thought about it like that. Though, I still don't trust a device driver in Windows with my ext3 partition! :(
