hi, i'm newbie to linux and just installed RHL 7.0 recently.
my question is, what i should to in order to be able to transfer data from the windows partition and vice versa. i have two hard drive, one is the windows 98 and the other is linux.
thx in advance.
 
Win98 doesn't read linux ext2 paritions so windows can't access the linux partition. Linux however can access the Windows FAT32. So you'll just have to work around that.
 
Is there a program for Windows that would let it read Linux partitions? Also, can Linux read NTFS? Just curious since I'm thinking of re-installing Linux and dual boot with Win2K.
 
Explore2fs can read ext2 partitions from within Windows. Explore2fs

Read support for NTFS works fine, r/w however is still in the works, and hence, considered dangerous.

What? Drives in a system, booted to the other OS? Sure. Easy, easy, if vfat is compiled into the kernel, and if you're running anyone's stock kernel these days then the answer is yes, then, yes. mount -t vfat /dev/<deviceX> /<mount point>.
