How can I mount an EXT2 partition under Windows 7?

compatibility windows-7 external-hard-drive

How can I mount an EXT2 partition under Windows 7? Not under Total Commander, because I'm searching for a solution to "see the partition from the My Computer" icon.

Are there any? A read-only file system would be enough, as I don't really need a writable EXT2 file system under Windows 7 Pro (64bit).

UPDATE: the EXT2 disk is really an USB HDD.


Solution 1:

There are several options, but in the long run I prefer having a FAT32 or NTFS partition that I share on a dual boot system.

  • Explore2fs

  • DiskInternals Linux Reader

  • Ext2 Installable File System For Windows

  • Ext2Fsd

Some screenshots are here.
