Posted by: Skuzzle look up wine for running windows apps. Posted by: macdude425 Windows Services for Unix should let you mount ext3 volumes in Windows. Posted by: Enterpriser Wine Posted by: simple [QUOTE]Windows Services for Unix should let you mount ext3 volumes in Windows.[/QUOTE] could you specify what exactly do you mean by that? thanks for replying all you guys!! i really appreciate it!! Posted by: The General What programs do you want to use? I guarantee there are free native alternatives... Posted by: IBMan i had an ext3 mounter that i downloaded that was freeware, i think i saw the link on these forums but i don't have the program on my server anymore...i can look for it but i won't make any guarantees, I have windows services for unix that i got from my school but i think it costs money...and I don't remember seeing a partition mounter(didn't play around with it a whole lot either yet though.) Posted by: simple [QUOTE]What programs do you want to use? I guarantee there are free native alternatives...[/QUOTE] mainly i have a lot of mp3 music files which i play in my music player and in windows i use good softwares like itunes for managing my music. so i wanted to run these kind of softwares in linux but it is an .exe file. also i am just a student and i cannot afford to pay for any services. and i still want a software which lets me mount ext3 partitions in windows. thanks in advance!! Posted by: The General RhythmBox and Amarok are both good alternatives to iTunes. Amarok is more like Windows Media Player, RhythmBox is pretty much a clone of iTunes. What do you mean pay for services? Look, on Google I searched "ext3 partitions in windows" and the first hit is a free piece of software that lets you mount ext3 partitions in Windows.

[/B][/QUOTE] true, but it does work Posted by: Chase [QUOTE] Partition Magic is a nasty piece of payware.[/QUOTE] Indeed, stay far away...actually, as far away as possible. That software can mess up a lot of stuff really quick, without notice. ::-Chase-:: Posted by: Cyber Hunter [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by The General [/i] [B]RhythmBox and Amarok are both good alternatives to iTunes.
