Why not use Samba? Then WinXP can see the drives as
shares and you can use Explorer to drag and drop from the
Gentoo box to the Windows box.

Thanks for the prompt reply,
My gentoo partitions are reiserfs and windows is ntfs.
Are you suggesting I
make a fat32 partition and save my work to that i.e.
/home/work ? If so will
windows find it ok or will I have to set it up, if so
how?
Thanks again
Paul

Windows won't read or recognise linux partitions (ext2/3

However there is a program called explore2fs, which can
allow you to
read, only read, linux partitions.
Its very basic and takes LOTS of cpu power.
I use it all the time when i'm not bothered to reboot to
linux to
check something. Or i usually save most of my work on a
fat32 and
symlink it to my home.
