I have always felt quite uncomfortable with something like that . I mean
messing
an ext2 partition from XP or messing an NTFS partition under Linux (
reading
an NTFS partition under Linux works fine ) but i don't want to know about
writing .
However, that said, it is a very handy utility

You mean that you try to verify the integrity of an ext3 filesystem
from within Windows XP . Well personally i would prefer testing Windows
XP Partitions from Windows XP with say Norton Disk Doctor and
forcing an filesystem check upon next reboot for the root filesystem
for Linux .
A 'must have' for Linux/XP dual boot systems.
I would vote against that . I dual boot between Windows XP and Linux for
the
last 2,5 years and i never felt the need for such a thing
Kind Regards,
