No, sorry, SAMBA is for networking. My apologies, I did not read your question properly.

BSD is an operating system. So, is Windows 2000. You can not run two operating systems at the same time, generally Smilie

Ergo, your question is not about accessing operating systems, it is about accessing file systems. My mistake.

BSD partitions can be built on many different filesystems, I think. If you build it using one that is accessible from Windows 2000, you will be able to access it.

Does anyone know of the different file system types for this OS?
