You should email microsoft and ask them to start supporting it. If you want Windows to read your linux partition, you'll need to use ext3. Accessing Linux Filesystems in Windows (Despite this article saying ext2fsd might work with ext4, I've seen a number of people say it does not actually work.) __________________ The Arch Way How to Ask Questions the Smart Way Registered Linux User #482863
