Is there a way to access Linux partitions from Windows? Some utility or something?
I'd like to be able to read and write if possible.

Thanks

FYI: WinSCP is OK over a network (as would be samba) but wont work on a dual boot machine. Explore2fs works fine for partitions formatted to ext2 or ext3 but wont work for reiserfs or other file types.

ReiserDriver (http://rfsd.sourceforge.net) works for reading ReiserFS partitions under Windows. For now though, it's read-only.
