How to Access and Explore Linux File systems on Windows OS

Linux Filesystem Explorer

This is NOT a guide on how to mount or explore Linux file system on windows but rather a collection of software that will enable you to mount and or explore linux file systems such as Ext2, Ext3 and Reiserfs. Although i have tested these wonderful software myself, there is no assurance that it will work for you, so use it at your own risk.

Ext2 IFS - Provides Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 with full access to Linux Ext2 volumes (both read and write access). This may be useful if you have installed both Windows and Linux as a dual boot environment on your computer.

DiskInternals Linux Reader - Provides read-only access and does not allow you to make records in Ext2/Ext3 file system partitions. It is 100% free by the way.

Ext2FSD
- Act as a file system driver for Windows NT/XP/2K to access a linux filesystem such as ext2.

Explore2FS - A linux filesystem explorer for Windows 9x/NT/XP or XPSP2/Win2k3 which supports ext2 and ext3 linux filesystems.


If you know a software which i haven’t included in the above list then feel free to drop me a comment.
