# Ext2fs reader
Linux has filesystem support for windows (fat,ntfs and so on), mac, and lots of others. Whats about windows? Microsoft didn’t make ext2fs reiserfs filesystem supports. But there are several solutions how to access linux partition from windows. First which I tried is explore2fs. Its simple, something filemanager-style browser. It supports reading ext2fs (also ext3fs because its the same but with journal). You can simply select export file from context menu and save it to your windows drive. There is screenshot:
I like this app because its small, no install needed and does simple file saving routine from linux. (Hate to reboot to linux just to save one file:). You can download it here: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
If you need more functionality there are drivers writen for windows. One of them, which I tested – EXT2IFS. This driver after instalation shows linux partitions as ususal windows disks. So you have more disks, and use them as windows partitions. You can download it from here: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm#Download
ReiserFs support (didn’t tested by myself):
