Trying Linux for the First Time, and Need a Little Help

<< < (7/7)

My Laptop is Dual boot with Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows 7 RC 7100. I can access the windows partition from Ubuntu but I can't access the ext3 ubuntu partition from Windows. The windows boot detects the partition but does not recognized the type of partition. Does anyone knows how to be able to access the ext3 partition from windows boot?

Should work for Ext3 as well

Thanks for the tip. I got the application and installed it on Windows 7. I encountered another problem where I receive an error message like: "Drive is unformatted, Do you wish to format it now?". I diagnosed the partition using the mountdiag.exe application which was mentioned at the troubleshoot section of the site. It seems that I need to back up the system and reformat the entire partition and set the inode size equal to 128 bytes. The current inode size in my linux partition is 256 bytes
