Explore2fs is an Explorer-like program for Microsoft Windows that is capable of reading ext2 and ext3 (Linux) hard disk partitions.
[1] This can be especially convenient if one has a dual-boot system with both Linux and Windows partitions, or if one uses a live-CD version of Linux that creates an ext2 partition image as a single file on an NTFS drive (such as Puppy Linux, for instance, does).
A new version called Virtual Volumes is being developed.
This new version has a layered modular design.
