Ext2IFs is excellent, I have used it for a cpl of years now, just one thing I learned the hard way :/

TURN OFF RECYCLE BIN FOR THE Ext2/Ext3 DISK OR IT WILL GIVE YOU BSODs AND CORRUPT YOUR EXT2/EXT3 PARTITION.

That said, you can right click on Windows’ Recycle Bin and choose “Properties”, then, choose “Configure Drives Independently”, then choose the tab for your Ext2/Ext3 drives, and activate the check box next to “Don’t move files to Recycle Bin, remove them immediately.”.

That should be it.

Hope this saves you some headaches.

Glad you like it! When I found this I felt the same way, wondering why I had never thought to look for it before.

I have used ext2fsd and FreeOTFE for a while. I have used it to mount my LoopAES crypted external harddisk on windows.

Wow Cheers for this; it solves one of my biggest annoyances with dual-boot – It seems obvious now, but I’d never thought to look for anything like this! Doh! Great article!
