Title: how to access Ubuntu formatted USB in windows
Post by: roohi on September 15, 2012, 01:40:40 PM

Hi all,

I had a pen drive which is Ubuntu formatted , and I had some data in it.
I want to copy that data in my windows machine how can i do that, because when i trying to open it, a prompt comes up saying that u have to format the device before using it.
I can access the drive through diskpart.
Is there any way to copy the content???

Thanks for the help in advance
