EXT2 from WINDOWS
Hey All,
I have to write a driver that can read EXT2 drives from windows. I am totally lost and have no idea where to begin. Can anyone here guide me from where to begin?
Thankyou

Also please tell me:
Does the C function readsector() read sectors from only FAT drives or can it be used to read sectors from any other file system? Eg i-node?

This sort of thing looks to be freely available ... just a google away. Is there any particular reason for you wanting to write this yourself?

Thankyou casper and Jonathan for your replies.
Yes I have to write the driver myself! It has been given as an assignment in the course Operating Systems at the undergraduate level.
