I'm dual booting Debian amd-64 Wheezy 7.5 and Windows 8.1
I have 6 drives and I am 100% positive that four of the drives are formatted Ext4 (Formatted in Linux)
How on earth is it that when I'm in Windows I can casually read the drives and write to the drives without having installed any special software whatsoever.
I've now switched back and forth between the two operating systems many, many times to make sure I'm not going crazy.
No, they are not FAT32.
No, they are NTFS.
This is a pretty fresh 8.1 installation and again, I have not installed any third-party software.
