No, SAMBA is only for networking WINDOWS based PC's with Linux (or
other UNIX) systems. It won't help in your situation. Unfortunately,
the fdutils stuff I told you about is not the right stuff either.
There's an ext2tool.zip file that you need. Let me check my
CD-ROM.....nope, not on my CD-ROM, but I know I've seen the package
listed in comp.os.linux.announce. This zip file that contains
several DOS utilities that allow you to access files on your ext2
partitions. I haven't tried it, but there was some info on it in
the November issue of the Linux Gazette. Check
http://www.redhat.com/. Also check sunsite.unc.edu mirrors in
/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/ext2/ext2tool*.zip. Hope this helps.
