Is the file read-only? because that's what happened to me long ago. I can open and view the files but they're just read-only.

I used explore2fs and I think its read only but it has the ability to import files.....
explore2fs can improt files from linux, read but not write on linux partition and ive didnt seen better program from this one.
You could always install linux on a FAT file system, but then your superior OS is running on an inferior file system. That will, however allow you to access the files from any OS.
The way I do it is I have a specific partition formated with FAT 32 that nothing is installed on, it exists for the purpose of saving files I want to access from both OS's.

You can try this: Paragon Ext2FS Anywhere, it's able to mount your ext2/3 partitions under windows. you can also write data to your ext2/3 partitions with it.

Thanks turbohead for this. Seems like a great tools but isn't free.......
You can read/write on Linux file system in FAT/NTFS using this utility http://www.ext2fs-anywhere.com/ . Demo version is also available.
you can use Explore2fs version 1.00 pre 6

ohh, I haven't tried this. the way I see it, how can you format your disk with FAT 32 in order to be accesible for windows and linux? From what I know, if it is formatted under Windows, then you can read but not write on it in linux but I haven't tried the other way around. how were you able to do it?
Thnx a lot...I was also looking for a software like this.
Make sure you have the permissions set (login as Admin in safemode -f8 at startup-, then click on folder/drive and go security, then permissions).
Cheers.

You could try ext2fs : http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
I think it allows both read and write access (I used it to edit some config files from windows when I was't able to boot into lin).

try explore2fs
you can download here http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
or you can try
WinSCP from http://winscp.sourceforge.net
ReiserDriver (http://rfsd.sourceforge.net) works for reading ReiserFS partitions under Windows. For now though, it's read-only.

Thanks for the link vashish, will try it soon.
Also if s**t happend you can use a file recovery package which will enable you to recover all the files you want including theones on Linux or unknown partision. Good luck.
yes... you can view linux partition on windows.. but first you want to mount the drive first...
