Windows (any version) lacks native support for anything than FAT or NTFS. In addition to ext2fs, you might want to check out these Windows reiserfs tools:

rfstool

It sounds like you need to read the documentation

For ext2/3 support, have a look at Explore2fs .Explore2fs only supports reading ext2/3 partitions.
If you need read/write access, then you should probably look at a commercial offering such as Paragons Mount Everything
