Ext3 Filesystem on Windows Paragon's EXT2FS Anywhere Isn't Working
Good evening, all...
I have a dual boot machine with Windows XP SP2 and Fedora Core 3 with EXT3 filesystem.
I wanted to be able to read AND WRITE ext2 ext3 from Windows, so I bought Paragon's EXT2FS Anywhere product and installed that.
The problem is that whenever I try to copy files from Windows to the Linux drives, it works for a short time and then I get a "blue screen" Windows crash.
There was a note on the Paragon website's "knowledge base" regarding that problem with one of their other products, and their solution was to reformat all ext2 ext3 drives with an updated version of mke2fs, on the notion that there was a bug in the version that was shipped with FC3.
Going through my many bins of parts and other computer junk, I just discovered a brand new digital cable...
So, I said OK, and I downloaded and installed the new version of ext2fs and reformatted my drives ... sort of like the standard Windows fix for problems which is "Re-install Windows". :-)
So, let's say you're running kde (or gnome or any window manger-environment) and you're using konsole (or...
No such luck ... Windows still "blue screens" and crashes after a very short time into a file-copying session.
Several requests for help from Paragon over the last three weeks have gone unanswered.
Anyone have any ideas?
