I use now ext2 and FAT partitions mostly. (I do not need journaling on external volumes - no ext3)
Before I had a practice to create a small FAT partition and put Explore2Fs since it doesn't require installation. You can't write onto ext2 - but at least under Windows you can get the info from the drive. And I normally moved info from Linux to Windows so I had few problems.
