On Behalf Of praveen shinde Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 2:30 PM If i have a dual booting system.ie windows and linux.and i start linux on my pc. Then i write a program and save it as say xyz.c . Now i start windows and want to access the file xyz.c . Is it possible? One way is to use internet and mail it from linux to my email account in say yahoo and read it in windows. Is there any other way?

Yes, you can create a partition which is formatted with FAT filesystem and mount it under Linux. You can also access an existing windows parition this way. Then store all your files in this directory. After that they can be accessed by either operating system.

You can put the right entries in /etc/fstab and then let this happen automatically at boot.

On Behalf Of Himanshu Sharma Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 3:12 PM there is a util called explore2fs

This would not work. The utility allows you to access the linux parition but this access is not transparent and you need to manually save each file before you can use it.

you'll either have to mount your windows partition under linex or you can use tools like explore2fs. if you want i can mail it to you.

Cheers ...

Enjoy !!!
