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!
