On a firewire-mounted external hard drive I have an
EXT3 partition that used to be the root file system
for an RH7.3 linux setup. Is there any way to mount
such a partition to cygwin when XP doesn't recognize
it with a drive letter?
The partition is primary, not extended.
Regards,
Peter

Thanks Larry. I only need read access for my home
system and not commercial support, so I'll check out
Explore2fs.

FYI, explore2fs found both my boot and root partitions
on the firewire external drive with no trouble.
Thanks for the pointer, this is just what I needed, an
easy way to copy info over to cygwin.

On http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html You will find an ext2-driver for WXP,
who is also able to read and write ext3-filesystems.
