You can view ext2 (I don't know about ext3) in MacOSX by getting the ext2fs tool. This will show up in System Preferences and allow you to 'see' the contents of the drive/partition. |

Who told you Linux couldn't handle HFS+? Have you heard of MOL? Or |

Thats what backups are for. If you aren't used to the command line, |
