If you are dual booting Windows and Linux this is WAY cool.

Go here: http://www.fs-driver.org/

to download a Linux file system driver for Windows.

FROM THE WEBSITE: It installs a pure kernel mode file system driver Ext2fs.sys, which actually extends the Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 operating system to include the Ext2 file system. Since it is executed on the same software layer at the Windows NT operating system core like all of the native file system drivers of Windows (for instance NTFS, FASTFAT, or CDFS for Joliet/ISO CD-ROMs), all applications can access directly to Ext2 volumes.

It works! This solves a problem for me as to where to put large 4+gig files on what was an all Fat32 file system on the Windows side. Now I don't have to mess with NTFS.

Looks like it supports every Windows OS starting with Windows NT -- but not Win9x.

Enjoy,
