======================
 How to install
======================

1, start a dos shell (cmd.exe)
2, cd /ext2fsd_install_path/setup
3, run the following commands (deponding your system)

   setup 2k utf8: to install ext2fsd (utf8 version) for windows 2000
   setup 2k all:  to install ext2fsd (all codepages version) for windows 200
   setup xp utf8: to install ext2fsd (utf8 version) for windows xp
   setup xp all:  to install ext2fsd (all codepages version )for windows xp


   The uft8 version is much smaller than the version with all codepages ebmeded.
   If you only use utf8 or system default codepage, you can install the uft8 verison.
   Also you can build the driver on your own with your specified settings.

4, now you can mount the ext2 partitions now

======================
 How to mount
======================

1, You may need execute "diskmgmt.msc" under a dos cmd box to get the driver
   and partition number of your ext2 volumes. For first disk id is 0, the first
   partition number is 1 ...
2, Example: to mount the 3rd partition of the 2nd disk as driver z:
   mount 1 3 z:

======================
 How to umount
======================

1, umount  <driver letter>
   Example: "umount z:" is to umount the driver z:


Ext2fsd v0.23 is not strong yet in writing support, I recommend you create a
little ext2 partition as a swap between winnt and linux or use bosse's filedisk
to create an image file. Please see faq.txt for detail info of mounting an image
file as a partition with the help of filedisk.

Notes: I release it just for file system driver development. The driver may
crash your system and ruin your data. You should use it with care and use it
at your own risk!
