Using dual boot, with Ubuntu 9. The only way to access the files is to boot into Ubuntu, copy the files to the Windows partition and restart into Windows. Just taking some time from what the developer said when i emailed him. Next version is to support utf-8, xp x64, vista x86 and x64 as well as few little other fixes and features.
It's been bugging me for such a long time, because I made my user profile's "Documents" point to my documents folder on my ubuntu partition. Unfortunately all those names are in UTF-8, and Vista writes them in cp or sth like that - essentially an iso extension. All in all it makes have to name all my docs with standard A-Z latin characters, which blows if you're not in an English speaking country!
The log is never touched, and therefore out of sync whenever a change happens, so each time I reboot into Linux I go through a loooong fsck It is a security risk, though. Having a dual boot computer all in all, but also installing these programs.
I had used Ext2 and it doesn't request any passwords when you mount your password protected partitions. This means the linux drives are vulnerable to attacks. You can access that partitions with colinux and Virtualbox and then just share the folders form the linux VM. That way you can just share what you need. If a 3rd party application can mount and share the ext partitions to users without needing passwords, then the ext partitions were NOT protected with passwords.
One can have an 'agreement to check login info to access' but if its not enforced on the disk volume, its just that 'an option'. Please note that EXT2IFS won't work when the number of inodes is not exactly , which is the case in my default Fedora installation for some reason.
At least that's what I've been told ;-. The thing that did work is the plugin for Total commander mentioned in one of the previous comments. Btw, I do not know if this matters, but I have a 64 bit system, where the ext3 partition was formated when installing a 64 bit Ubuntu, while I tired these software WinXP 32 bit. Then i went to try it on my pc with suse I hope to see it updated to be more compatible with the !!
Keep up the good work!! Seems like the third method is better than the others all around. Why bother even mentioning them? Because the third method uses the FS driver which only supports inodes of , but some newer Linux distros will use twice that amount and it will not work. Virtual Volumes is the only one that can do the job right.
I tried the first two as well: Disk Internals Linux Reader, and explore2fs. Neither one seemed to be able to read my byte inode ext3 and ext4 fs's. Thanks for the pointer to Virtual Volumes.
I'll give it a try. I tried Virtual Volumes, and indeed it does seem to work for accessing my ext3 fs with byte inodes!
But it does not recognize my ext4 fs. Which is ok for me, but I'm lucky that I didn't make my home partition ext4. Also, VV is still in beta, so beware. Whoever does this work will be benefiting a lot of people as newer versions of Linux are being installed alongside Windows. Let's all donate to Virtual Volumes! If Explore2fs is not working for you, you can try Virtual Volumes. This is the new version of Explore2fs. It has many new features and I am happy to add more if your filesystem is not yet supported.
Ext2IFS works with Windows 7 bit, just make sure that before you install it you set it run in Compatibility mode. It worked for me running windows 7 64 bit. I had to change the compatibility for all users so when I put in the administrator password that account was running in the same mode I had selected with my non admin account. The truth is there are several situations when you may need to access the Linux file systems on Windows. So, here are the best tools to access and recover data from Linux ext2 and ext3 file systems on Windows.
With Linux Reader, you can mount the Linux partitions in Windows and transfer data from one platform to the other. The software is available both as a free and paid subscription. That latter is called Linux Reader Pro and comes with a few additional features. Apart from reading data from the Linux partitions, you can also use the paid version of the tool to remotely access files via SSH on Linux.
You can directly download the executable file on your computer and run it with a single click. Keep in mind that Ext2Explore will only run if you launch it as the administrator. All you need to do is mount each partition. As we all known, Windows users cannot create partitions with these file systems easily in Disk Management. Here, we recommend a free partition tool — DiskGenius Free to fulfill the task. Alternatively, you can select free disk space and click New Partition button.
Note: If there is not free disk space on your drive, you can use DiskGenius shrink one partition to free some disk space. Also, you can just delete a partition whose files have all been backed up. The "Create New Partition" box comes up, and you can select file system type now. To create ext4 partition, you should select Ext4 Linux Data. Then click OK button. Click Save All button on the upper-left panel to save the new partition to partition table.
DiskGenius asks whether to format the partition after it is saved to partition table. Click Yes and the partition will be formatted quickly. Besides, it provides many other functions to help you manage and access EXT4 Linux partition in Windows 10 , for instance, save data to ext4 partition, delete data from Linux partition, clone EXT4 partition to image, resize Linux partition without losing data, etc.
DiskGenius is professional data recovery software and it can help you get back lost files or partitions and recover RAW drive with ease. Learn More. Partition Manager.
Disk Utilities. Beyond your imagination DiskGenius can do more! If your computer is dual booting Windows and Linux, you may need to access data on Linux system from Windows.
