[Eug-lug] Linux Partition < ---> Windows Partition Communications Beakdown

[Michael Miller]

I remember reading in this months Linux Journal or Sys Admin about a
Windows ext2 or 3 file system driver.  If I find out that it is
different from what Ben posted I will post that information.

Depending on which version of Fedora Core you are on you may be able
to read NTFS volumes and maybe write too them as well.

http://www.fedorafaq.org/#ntfs

Do look at the Linux NTFS webpage and wiki.

http://www.linux-ntfs.org/

Read the Linux NTFS FAQ as well.

The simple thing may be to just use the 3rd disk.
