Darryl, Marcos,

Much more to the point is the very recent thread "Beginner- need help in 
understanding" (another one of those wonderfully non-descriptive subject 
headers):

<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01417.html>
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01418.html>
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01422.html>
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01423.html>

The last one includes links to software for accessing Ext2 file systems 
from WIndows.
