So the last post was about accessing your Windows files in Linux. This one is about accessing your Linux files in Windows.
In this case it’s pretty simple…however in Windows we have a few limitations (really?).
All you have to do is…nothing. DiskInternals Linux Reader will do everything for you. However, you are only able to read (I guess that’s why they call it Linux Reader) from the partition, what means you can not write to it.
First of all, DiskInternals Linux Reader is absolutely free. Secondly, the program provides for read-only access and does not allow you to make records in Ext2/Ext3 file system partitions. This guarantees that the interference in an alterative file system will not affect the work of Linux later. Apart from this, it is necessary to note, that it gives you an opportunity to use common Windows Explorer for extracting data.
So now you are able to view and extract your Linux files in Windows.
I think it’s great really, even though you can not write. It’s freeware and it just makes it very easy for us to get files from Linux to Windows.
You can get more information and download the program at: diskinternals.com
Have fun!

So…you have a dual boot of Windows and Debian and you want to mount a Windows partition in your Debian distro, so that you are able to access windows files and folders?
First of all, you need to know where your Windows partition is. To do this run the following command in your terminal as root:
fdisk -l
You’ll see a list whit all your partitions. Usually, the Windows partition is the first one. In my case it’s /dev/hda1.
Now, we create a new directory in Debian to mount our Windows partition. Again, as root:
mkdir /mnt/windows
And finally, we mount our partition:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -w
You can run “man mount” to a learn some more about the mount command.
If you wish to unmount it:
umount /mnt/windows
And it’s done. You can now access your Windows files and folders in your Debian system.
This may also work with other GNU/Linux distributions.
If you prefer, you can also download the following bash script to mount your partition for you:
mount_win.sh (right click -> save as)
Don’t forget to change “/dev/hda1” to your Windows partition and “/mnt/windows” if you wish to create the partition in a different directory.
To run it just navigate to the directory where you saved it and do “. mount_win.sh” as root.
Take care!
How can you build an electronic cage system that is able to feed the animal, and automatically cleans the cage after 8 meals?
This was my final project for ‘Digital/Logic Systems’ at the college.
The goal was to create a cage system with the following features:
- While the animal is eating, the cage cannot be cleaned;
- Feeding the animal takes 4 clocks;
- You can only re-feed the animal when the previous feeding process is finished and the “feed switch” was previously turned off;
- After 8 meals, the cage should automatically initiate the cleaning process;
- The cleaning process takes 4 clocks to complete, and a new process can only be started when previous processes are over.
So…how can you do this? Like this…


It took ages for us to put this working…but we made it
ah ah
Congrats to my working group!
