Hello,

I installed Windows 7 after installing Ubuntu 14.04. I read in this tutorial:
https://openclassrooms.com/fr/courses/43538-reprenez-le-controle-a-laide-de-linux/37192-partitionner-son-disque

that you can create an ext4 partition for your files that both Windows AND Linux can access without any issues. You just need to install FS Drive on Windows. However, this software doesn't work on Windows 7!

My question is as follows: what would you do in my place? I want my files to be accessible through both Linux and Windows, both for reading and "WRITING". Should I install another program on Windows to access ext4 or configure my file partition to NTFS or FAT32 and then modify something in Linux?

Thank you!

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 37.0.2062.120

    Hello,
    I want to point out that Linux can read and write Windows partitions (fat or ntfs)!
    So rather than bothering to install a Windows program to access Linux partitions, put the documents you want to share on a partition formatted as fat32 or ntfs...
