You probably will have to get a Virtual Machine. VMware (http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws_features.html) is pretty good. They have a demo available for download. What you would have to do is run linux inside the VM and send the log files to the FAT filesystem.

There's a couple of utilities for mounting a partition or exporting files from an ext2 linux partition to windows.

Paragon Ext2FS Anywhere 2.5
explore2fs

Even better :)

What you really need is Explorer 2fs:

Thanks, I'll have to try that out when I reboot to windows. What about ReiserFS?

Not sure ... but I can confirm ext2 and ext3 both work fine.

It may work, can only try ...
