I'm a bit confused on the question too. If you mean why can't the Windows
devices read Linux partitions, Windows can't read ext4fs, as far as I know,
unless that's changed. Generally, one uses samba to share something stored
on Linux with a Windows machine. I have a very dated page that covers that
a bit, but has some still useful links, at

dinner? Mom's making her famous phone call to the Chinese place.
Willow: Xander, do you guys even have a stove?
