Dear Experts

Sorry I couldn't figure which sub forum I need to post this question which is mix between windows OS and Linux partition type Ext2

I am using windows 7 and before partitioning my mobile's (Samsung Galaxy S7) SD card I did backup to all folders that were installed on it.

Then I partitioned the SD card using the utility called "Mini Tool Partition" as per the snapshot below (SD card named as Disk2 not 1 and size is 32 GB)

I created 3 partitions as per some online recommendation and as below :

8 GB Fat32
16 GB Ext2
8 GB Swap

I wanted to copy the backup apps to partition named "Ext2" which utility will let me do that ?

So far I tried ext2explore and Ext2Fsd-0.68 with no joy

I am using windows 7 OS not linux

Thanks

There is some confusion here. First of all, there are partition types. See this link for a explanation, and a list of partition types.

Ok. Linux uses hex 83 for file system types. A file system is made by the operating system, read and written to by an OS. EXT2 is a valid linux file system. Windows can not read or write this file system.

It appears you have a ntfs file system, windows can read/write to that. It appears you have named the partition ext2. I don't think the name matters to the OS.

Now, please tell us where you have the SD card plugged in? On your Win system, or in the Galaxy S7?

Hi
Yes I did name it


I used laptop slot that is designated to read SD card

By looking at the images you posted, I do not see a drive letter assigned to the partition you called ext2. Did you map the drive?

F: looks like FAT32.

I have noticed that I don't why
