Linux reading fatx?

Just a question, can Linux Ubuntu read FATX removable drives?
The reason is I want to transfer game saves from my pc to my xbox.

Anyone using/has used linux that knows anything about this please tell me/help me.

Thank you.

Not sure if Ubuntu does, you can always setup a dual boot with XP to make sure you have the ability to access your game saves. It's always a good idea to keep a backup of your game saves.

Why don't you try and see for yourself with an Ubuntu live session?

Ohk, i tried it didn't read.
Any OS that does read it or any plug-in or program that will read it?
Much appreciated.
Also the reason I didn't try it at that time is because I was burning a DVD and it was taking ages.

I last recall there being an application to read/write stuff to the Xbox 360 HDD, even gamesave. Probably give that a try?

Xplorer360 I think its call

Xplorer 360 is a third party app which will transfer stuff between the 360 HDD and your PC HDD. However you will still need something capable of interfacing with the 360 HDD like XSATA or USB 360.

Ohk, first I have a original xbox not a 360 ^^
And, I have tried that app and it will not read my storage device (checked and it works as a memory card for xbox)

I have tried a few but it won't work.
I tried google search to find a OS that read fatx...
But no success. :|
