Dear Friend,
How to View and Open Linux hard disk Files in Window?
I've try Ext2 software to view Linux hard disk, it detect my Linux partition but i can't open it? it show "reformat hard disk"?
You want to view Linux partition in Window? Window as in Microsoft Windows? As for as I know it is not possible unless you are using softwares like 'cygwin'.
Or, is it that you have a seperate partition made for your data/multimedia in linux installation and you want to access it automatically each time you login to linux?

Cygwin is used to give you a Linux command-line environment on Windows. It would certainly allow to to access files with command-line tools, but does it allow you to open something with --eg--MSOffice?

I'm sorry I meant to 'View' linux partitions. Didnot give thought to OP's desire to 'Open' files too, which mostly will be docs, excels, pdfs... Pardon my dumbness.

i don't know what file type on F:\ partition
how to open F:\ drive .
please click below link to check what partition on my linux harddisk?
Please give us more information on that system. For example, how did those Linux partitions get there?----do you have Linux installed and running on that computer?
If Linux is not installed (or not working correctly), you can boot up from a Linux "Live CD" and use that to check what the filesystem is on all the drives.
