How to open wubi's .disk files under windows?

Wubi has created one big file with whole ubuntu installation root.disk - there are some files I have left on my linux partition that I would like to access from windows partition,

Is there any way to mount/open this file under windows?

P.S. I think its ubuntu question, because Wubi is a windows compatible linux.


Solution 1:

Explore2fs did not work for me (don't know why)

An alternative that definitely works is ext2explore, which can be downloaded from the following website

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/

Download it and browse for the .disk file where you installed ubuntu. It worked for me, even in kubuntu.

Solution 2:

  • Explore2fs is a GUI explorer tool for accessing ext2 and ext3 filesystems.
  • It runs under all versions of Windows and can read almost any ext2 and ext3 filesystem.
