Thumbs up Read ext2/ext3 paritions in windows


Hi

I know that there are many programs available, and I have seen many threads on this topic, still I never came across this source.

It is a C program, which lets you read ext2/3 partitions from windows. It can be found here.

Why use a GUI when you can integrate it to the explorer itself.

Both are good, the GUI option does not write to ext3 partitions which can be ideal if Windows XP tends to make changes in the ext3 partitions. I often used to get filesystem errors requiring a check in SUSE 10.2 when I used to use the explorer drivers.

Yeah.. Windows can make a lot of changes if you mount it as a drive.. Best option is explore2fs.
