Accessing EXT2/3 partition under Windows XP

After some googling I found several ways to do the job:

  1. Explore2fs
    • Pros: Open-source; No installing needed
    • Cons: Read only; Exporting file is too slow...
  2. Ext2 IFS
    • Pros: Mount EXT2/3 partition to a real disk letter; High accessing speed
    • Cons: Installing needed; No source available
  3. Ext2Fsd
    • Pros: Opensource; Mount EXT2/3 partition to a real disk letter
    • Cons: Installing needed; Complex operations
  4. Diskinternal Linux Reader
    • Pros: User-friendly interface with lots of whistles
    • Cons: Installing needed; No source available; Not support UTF-8 charset
  5. Virtual Volumes
    • Pros: Opensource
    • Cons: Installing needed; Not completed yet...

Finally I chose Ext2 IFS 😃
