Ext2IFS will allow you to "mount" ext2 filesystems as if they were NTFS or FAT filesystems. Might be cool if you go the "ext2" way.

I've used the UFS/FFS things for windows before, good when you need access to files from a WinTell.
For *actual* sharing of data, as in read+write!!! I use FAT32 partitions on dual-boots and the network via SMB/NFS/SSH for any serious data. Laptop users advantage ;-)

I ditched windows in earnest back in October and floated around from *nix Distribution to *nix Distribution tryin every thing from Ubuntu to NetBSD and even Slackware, Until a couople of weeks ago when I settled down into Fedora 8 code named WearWolf then after acouple of wearwolf reinstalls i upgrade the last one ran int some problems with it and decide to preserve My data on /dev/sdb1 and do a fresh installation of Fedora 9 (sulphur).
My partitio tables are as follows sda1 ext3 /boot sda2 XFS / (works better than every prior instalation on etx2 or etx3 file systems for rot) sda3 swap sda4 extended (will be used to add Cento Os and possibly NetBSD or FreeBSD) sdb1 /home ext3 Is it possible to boot the BSDS of of an extended partion, and use and mount an EXT3 file system as a home partition?

BSD needs a primary unless you really want to screw around and even then then it's not a sure thing.
Also is never much point is using any thing but freebsds file system for the / but mounting other stuff is fine. REMEMBER: ext3 is mounted as ext2 on FreeBSD -- that means without journaling support.

I successfully used FFS File System Driver for Windows for a number of times to access my FreeBSD UFS2 partitions, not a single problem. It gave me a BSOD and a restart when I tried to mount the NetBSD partition though, never tried it after, might do it soon to check again.

What about the possibilities of a USB stick drive that is formatted in UFS/FFS? Can Windows see that partition when the USB stick is inserted? Third-Party programs are not useful when your trying to get data to a system that isn't your own.

If you can get away without mounting the data, just use WinSCP to copy it across.
