Windows Users who also operate a Linux partition side by side with Windows usually have to make a third partition that both systems can exchange data. This should be done because Windows does not recognize the Linux partition that is formatted with Ext2 file system. By installing a driver for free, you can teach Windows to read ext2 partitions.
Download "Ext2 Installable File System for Windows' from www.fs-driver.org. After the installation process is complete, you can access the Linux partition with all Windows applications. You get a drive letter if necessary you can change through the '-IFS Drives "in Control Panel.
Tip: If at any point you run out of places in the Windows partition, move the swap file to a Linux partition. For that, right click 'My Computer' and open 'Properties'. In the tab 'Advanced' find the 'Settings' under 'System Performance'. Then click 'Advanced' and 'Change'. Now you stay moving swap file to the Ext2 partition.
