How To Access Linux Files In Windows


How To Access Linux Files In Windows

If your computer is a dual-boot machine, which means you've installed 2 OS for example Windows Xp Pro and Ubuntu Linux, I'm pretty sure most of you have some difficulty in viewing the files that being stored on Linux partition( ext2/etx3 ) under Windows environment..


Is It Possible To Access Linux Files In Windows?

YES. Actually there are some software that you can use to access Linux Files under your Windows environment. You can use a freeware program like LINUX READER, that can allows you to access your files on your Linux partition directly on your Windows system.

DiskInternals Linux Reader program plays the role of a bridge between your Windows and Ext2/Ext3 Linux file systems. This easy-to-use tool runs under Windows and allows you to browse Ext2/Ext3 Linux file systems and extract files from there.

However,
Like other program, this freeware still have a weakness or drawback. YES by using this program you can access directly your Linux files system in Windows BUT only in "read-only" mode. I'm sure you know what does it means? It means you can only access or read the files, you CANNOT modify the files.
