Ext3 filesystem on Windows - Paragon's EXT2FS Anywyere Isn't Working
|
|
|
| Good evening, all...
I have a dual boot machine with Windows XP SP2 and Fedora Core 3 with
EXT3 filesystem.
I wanted to be able to read AND WRITE ext2 / ext3 from Windows, so I
bought Paragon's EXT2FS Anywhere product and installed that.
The problem is that whenever I try to copy files from Windows to the
Linux drives, it works for a short time and then I get a "blue screen"
Windows crash.
There was a note on the Paragon website's "knowledge base" regarding
that problem with one of their other products, and their solution was
to reformat all ext2 / ext3 drives with an updated version of mke2fs,
on the notion that there was a bug in the version that was shipped
with FC3.
So, I said OK, and I downloaded and installed the new version of
mke2fs and reformatted my drives ... sort of like the standard Windows
fix for problems which is "Re-install Windows". :-)
No such luck ... Windows still "blue screens" and crashes after a very
short time into a file-copying session.
Several requests for help from Paragon over the last three weeks have
gone unanswered.
Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like their stuff doesn't actually work.

Yeah, dump windoze entirely or run in under vmware.
