From FreeBSD I have access to >Windows disk, but what's about access from Windows to FreeBSD? Interesting, isn't it, that FreeBSD supports most Microsoft technologies but Microsoft doesn't follow suit? Sorry, you're out of luck short of writing a filesystem driver for UFS. One may exist, but I have yet to see it. If it is critically important that you have some type of Unix and Windows and that they interoperate, you can either make a FAT/FAT32 partition that both systems can mount/write to or you can use Linux and then install one of the Windows EXT2 drivers. (You can probably get FreeBSD installed onto an EXT2 partition, but that kills some of my favorite benefits over Linux) Hope this helps. You could always send a request to Microsoft. I'm sure they'll ignore it. ;-) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
