Reading old Windows hard drives in Puppy Linux
Posted: Fri 23 Aug 2013, 12:53
The motherboard of my Windows computer has failed, but I the two hard-drives should still be working. The second drive in particular contains a lot of my personal stuff, and I want to install it as a second internal hard drive.
I am intending to completely erase the old hard-drive of another old computer and install Puppy Linux with the Linux file system ("ext2" I think) only.
But then if I install the Windows second hard drive as the second hard drive of the Puppy Linux computer, will the Puppy Linux computer be able to read it? And copy, edit and write files to it?
If it does not, then I will have to install Windows instead.
Thanks
