What I told Yendor... with the exact same Drive you have...

Post #206,113 by folkert 5/5/05 3:10:02 PM Reply	What I told Yendor... with the exact same Drive you have... Make a Small 100MB partition and format it as fat. Make the rest an EXT3 filesystem. Partition 1 == Fat Partition 5 == EXT3 Put the Read/Write Software for EXT2/3 on the FAT partition so Windows can read the EXT2 partition. MACs can also benefit from this. Then format the Filesystem with a Linux machine/cd/whatever. That way, you can always have the machine read the first partition and then install the Software, then be able to read the fifth partition. Maximum funliness that way. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]

I have done stranger things than this though... and still no ACL honoring. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]
