Surely once you found yourself in the need to copy a file or to see a file that was in a typical Linux partition (either ext2, ext3 or ext4). Of course, the problem was that you were on Windows and you couldn't access that blessed partition, much less the file contained in it.
With the ext2read tool we will be able to access ext partitions from Windows without problems. It is still under development but it seems to work well.  |
That is the whole mystery. Get down ext2read, run it with administrator privileges in Windows and voila !, you will be able to access your EXT partitions and the files contained in them.
Characteristics of the program:
- Simple graphical interface developed in QT4.
- It can view and read ext2 / ext3 / ext4 partitions.
- Support for LVM2.
- Support for large files in Ext4 (in test phase).
- Ability to recursively copy a folder or the entire disk
- Support for external USB drives
- Support for disk images. For example, Wubi users can open their root.disk file through this program.
- LRU-based cache lock for faster access to files.
- Support for Unicode.
Unfortunately this application only allows read access and does not support write permissions on these partitions. Although, on the other hand, it allows us to access ext4 partitions from any Windows, something that very few tools allow so far.
To access with read and write permissions to ext2 and ext3 partitions I recommend you take a look at explore2fs.
