Full Version: Windows x64 ext3 driver?
Ok. So I like my copy of Linux, and for the most part, all of my partitions are ext3. This, of course, poses a problem when I have to share information with my installation of XP x64. Any ideas?

I've been looking for this too. All I can find is an ext2 driver. I don't know if it can read ext3.

Well. Ext3 is just ext2 with journalling....so I'm going to try it out. <crosses fingers>

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. I also found a reiserfs driver for x64. I'll attach it here and probably add it to the download section once I find out if it works...
I have found two solutions but none of them actually did not work as I wanted... Maybe you should just use Suse and save your data to NTFS or FAT right from it?!

Eww. suse? :D (Gentoo all the way!)
Edit: Upon poking through the files, it appears that the program didn't install right. I'm trying the zip, instead.
Edit Edit: It works. Hurrah!
I don't suppose there's anything like rfsgui for reiser4 fs? I can only access my reiserfs boot partition and not the rest of my drive :( I suppose that's what you get for using new filesystems :)

Horray Gentoo!! Anyway, this is news to me. I didn't even know people had written drivers for XP to read off of Linux partitions. Hmm, I've been using Gentoo forever and didn't know. Quite amazing.
Hi,
I've repacked the Ext2Fsd Driver so that it can be easily installed, as I've needed to install it a number of times.
Hope this helps others... its somewhat complicated to get through the documentation in order to get the driver to work properly on WinXP64 and even harder to properly get it to automatically mount the drive on startup.
It can be downloaded from: Ext2Fsd XP64 Driver Download
It is current setup so that it mounts the second partition of your first hard-drive as the L:\ drive.
If you need to, the partition number can be changed by editing ext2mount.batch and editing the line:
"mount 0 2 L:"
0 = HardDrive 1
2 = Partition 2
L:= Drive Mount
Besides that, my 'version' is much simplier to setup - Hope it helps! :)

Sorry but it writes "Object not found!", is it possible to download your driver from anywhere else? I really need that driver beacause I just switched to x64 Windows and I have 3 drives(360GB) in ext2/ext3 and I'd like to read them :D
Thank you in anticipation!
Edit: woops, I just read the posts above

Hope someone stills pays attention to this thread!
I just set up my Windows XP x64 box (for gaming purposes!) and, as other people in this thread I also use Linux (which I deem far better). All my files are in a partition I mount as /home/{myuser} on /dev/sda3 when on Slackware 12. I want to access those files when i'm running Windows too (lot's of MP3 and my working dirs!). I tried the hack that follows, but i figured i'll never run it right 'cause, after a few attempts, I realised it's for Windows Vista and not XP x64.

Q) How to start ext2fsd under vista AMD64 system
A) Two ways could move you to start Ext2Fsd under vista:
1,Press F8 when booting vista, and select "disable driver signature checking",
this way works if you want only to try ext2fsd once, you also need remove it
after usage.
2,The other way is to use it in test mode:
(Run as Administrator to do the followings)
2.1, adding the Ext2Fsd.cer to system
certmgr.exe /add Ext2Fsd.cer /s /r localMachine root
certmgr.exe /add Ext2Fsd.cer /s /r localMachine trustedpublisher
2, enable test signing:
bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON
3, install the driver package
run setup.bat or ext2fsd install package

How can i set this thing to work on my system? I intend avoiding vista as long as possible!
Thanks in advance!
There's 'explore2fs' http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs It can read from ext2/3 but can't write.

Yes, i have tried that one, it works fine, but i need it to write as well. I know i should drop Windows and run only Linux, but i'm quite fond of some game play...
I did wrote the developer of Ext2FS and he answered saying he's working on a new version of the software, but is a few weeks behind schedule due to bug corrections. Guess that it's wait and see now...
