ext4 in windows

qrange · 08-28-2010, 03:09 PM

I need a program that allows windows xp to read EXT4 partition.
ext2explore.exe is not good, it doesn't give other windows applications direct access to ext4.

i don't think any windows software until now is able to r/w on ext4 linux partition....but you can r/w on ext3 partition by ext2fsd....it works fine on windows 7...

ext4 has been 'stable' for almost two years now.
I would be satisfied with read only, but don't want virtualization option.

edit: its ok, found the solution. the ext4 wiki page has a link to patch for its extensions on ext2fsd driver.

This isn't really a Linux question, I would probably post this one over on a Windows forum personally.

Your link did an automatic download to my machine. Don't do that.

I reported your post.
