You can easily access your Windows partitions from Linux but to access your Linux partitions from within Windows you require a tiny free utility called Explore2fs. Using this utility you can easily access Linux ext3 or ext2 partitions without any problem. This way you can always get your favorite MP3/video or PDF file stored inside Linux ext3 file system. This utility works on

Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows ME
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003

However we don’t recommend to install this utility on a production Linux serer (if you have one) as it does not enforce security permission from windows operating system. One more thing before using this utility make sure you have a backup of all important data.
