If you have the Solaris and Windows operating systems on your system, there is a way to mount read-only NTFS partitions under Solaris and read Solaris UFS partitions from Windows... Thanks to the Mount-ntfs and UFSRead project.

This project consists of two tools:

• mount-ntfs is a tool that allows mounting read-only NTFS partitions under Solaris
• ufsread is a tool that lets you read Solaris UFS partitions from Windows (NT/2K/XP but not 3.x/9x/ME).

To learn more, visit: http://mount-ntfs.sourceforge.net/

Additionally, check out Pradhap Devarajan's blog on sun.com for a step-by-step guide to mount-ntfs: http://blogs.sun.com/pradhap/entry/mounting_ntfs_partition_in_solaris
