    Can't see partitions in windows XP box

    Hi to all,
    I've made 4 partitionswith Gparted as follows:
    1. One NTFS where I have my Windows installation
    2. One / where I installed Kubuntu
    3. One swap partition for my kubuntu instalation
    4. One FAT32 partition where I have my /home and which I want to use to exchange files with Windows.

    When I boot with Linux all is ok, I can see all 4 partitions, I can exchange files on the FAT32 partition with other windows computers (I share this one on a windows network) etc.
    The problem is that when I boot with Windows I can only see the NTFS (asigned letter C:\ in explorer). The other three are invisible. I can see them in disk Management though where they apear as "Healthy (Unknown Partition). But I can neigher asign them a letter nor mark them as active since none of the selections in disk management are highlighted.
    Did I something wrong with GParted or do i have to do something while booted with Linux?
    Any idea appreciated

    You need to download a file called Ext2IFS_1_10b.exe which will allow you to see Linux partitions.

    I will look for the link for you....
