Technically the IFS driver for Windows works with EXT2 and EXT3.
Periodically I have noticed that EXT3 does not detect reliably. For
flash devices, ext2 is a better choice anyway. Out of the box Windows
is not able to make use of EXT2/3 drives, you have to download and
install the driver.

Sometimes there are no answers. He may be out of luck. Though again,
with the cost of drivers what they are, what is wrong with copying the
data to a new drive?

Maybe someone or Mira (oops, isn't Mira a female name?), needs to share
data between computers at different places. If there is the need for an
USB device but no money?

Jaromir seems to be a male name.

Thanks Ralf, Gustin
Disk formated FAT32 is probably good idea ...
I have to say that I was surprised a little bit by this problem because linux and mac OS are more related than linux and win and NTFS is not problem now with ntfs-3g.
Any thanks a lot for help.
For Ralf:
JaromÃ*r-Mira is male name :-) Slavonic names are sometimes confusing for people from other countries ...
Cheers Mira
