    how to access Ubuntu formatted USB in windows
    « 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

      What is the filesystem type on the USB drive? (ext3, FAT, etc?)
