Ext2 IFS for Windows by Stephan Schreiber (freeware)
Provides Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003 with full access to Linux Ext2 volumes (read access and write access). This may be useful if you have installed both Windows and Linux as a dual boot environment on your computer. This is a "Kernel Mode" driver!
READ WRITE DOS Win9x NT/XP yes yes no no yes
Note: Just so you guys know, you can get this to install under Vista, even though the author does not specify support for Vista. Just run the installer under compatibility mode (I used XP SP2 when I installed) and you'll get no error when trying to install. The driver itself is working fine for me, without having to run anything more under compatibility mode after the installation is done.
