hi swapnil ,

if you are still having problem accessing your NTFS then follow the below steps:

1)Go to taskbar menu select "Install & remove software" & enter ur password when prompted.

2)In the Search box above enter "NTFS" & u will get a list .Select the available packages and click Apply.
The requested drivers will be downloaded.

3)Then after download finishes go to Menu in taskbar select Tools/System Tools/NTFS Configuration Tool
and Enable Write support . If it doesn't work do it forcefully.

Hi friends ,
I want to backup all files stored on Linux from Windows.
I am installing another distro
Can you tell me how to access those files?

Try these tools:
http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm#Download

and the nice tool from DiskInternals, I love it.. http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/

Well chetan i tried explore2fs .It is really fast & i liked it.
But how can I write to the partition?

This tool is only for EXT2 file system
but if you want write access too than you this can be used
http://www.fs-driver.org/

This is cool but be careful if you access other Linux file system (eg. EXT3) windows will ask to format it. Beware of viruses of windows because of write access

most of the software including ntfs-3g are also available on the DVD.
They are just not installed by default.
If you want to install a package all you have to do is
Insert your DVD in drive,
Open Package Manager,
Search for package,
Install it.
It will select dependencies by itself and also tells the space required for package installation.
So, its very easy and handy.
