I used ext2fsd in windows and it worked great from windows but when I
reboot into kubuntu it does an auto disk check way more often than it
says. Sometimes the 33 mounts is actually 3 or 4 kubuntu mounts. The
rest must be XP mounts. It must mount the partition from windows several
times per session. I then un-installed ext2fsd from XP and my kubuntu
wouldn't boot. Thank god for Super Grub. I think I'll just keep ext2fsd
around for emergencies.
