The SwapFs-i homepage

Description:

SwapFs-i is a 32-bit filter driver for Windows XP, 2003 (2000, Vista and 2008 untested) to access Linux Swap partitions as temporary storage. The idea has come from Bo Branten's SwapFs, but this implementation contains additional features:

Retain previous files on swap partitions if possible (when auto-format is tuned off);
Swap drives can be formatted to any file system (eg. NTFS) as well.
