Parano Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 From Linux I can access my windows files, for in /mnt I can see my windows partitions: /mnt/win_c /mnt/win_d /mnt/win_e But from windows I don't see the Linux partitions. Would it be possible? How? Also although I have set windows permissions on some folders to "all users have full control" I cannot in Linux add files to that windows folder. Why?

Ixthusdan Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Windows pretends that other file formats do not exist, so you cannot see other os systems from wiondows. There should be no problem reading/writing to windows from linux, unless you are using ntfs. Then windows could attempt to not cooperate. Thank you, windows.

SteveAmbrose Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Linux can read NTFS partions BUT cannot write to them. If you want to be able to write to modify or add files from Linux, you need to create a FAT32 partion. Once created, both operating systems can read/write on that partion. HTH, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mte Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Do a google search and type <your-file-system> windows and you should get some drivers for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Captive Static claims that it can write on a NTFS partition from Linux but so far I haven't managed to do that ....................... Captive Static If you want Windoze to 'see' the ext2/3 partitions you can use Ext2IFS (this driver offers only read only access to an ext2/3. or check this site out. There is one tool there, if I remember well, that gives you full access. TuningSoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 (edited) There is a windows utility taht allows you to read/write linux partitions. can't remember the name offhand, google for it. I think it's got ext2 in the name. see here for a driver that read ext2 from windows: http://ashedel.chat.ru/ext2fsnt/ if you'd rather not do drivers, here's an application: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm Edited August 26, 2004 by papaschtroumpf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 There is a windows utility taht allows you to read/write linux partitions. can't remember the name offhand, google for it. I think it's got ext2 in the name. see here for a driver that read ext2 from windows: http://ashedel.chat.ru/ext2fsnt/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I use one of the early versions of Paragon Ext2Everywhere on a daily basis. It works seemlessly and gives a read/write access from Windows to ext3 Linux partitions. Only inconvenience is that files written to linux partitions have root ownership. Though this may be because this is a demo version (it came with one of the magazines). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
