It has been way too long. At least a month since I have posted a software of the week. So here is my pick for this week.
Ever need to mount a Linux formatted Hard drive in windows? To collect data hack your tivo/dvr?
This little app will allow windows to read and write EXT2 and 3 Partitions as well as fully formatted Hard drives.
Ext2 IFS Download
Best of all its free! This helps me when I need critical data off of my NAS (Linux OS based) that has crashed or is in need of repair.
It provides Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista with full access to Linux Ext2 volumes (read access and write access). This may be useful if you have installed both Windows and Linux as a dual boot environment on your computer.
The "Ext2 Installable File System for Windows" software is freeware.
It installs a pure kernel mode file system driver Ext2fs.sys, which actually extends the Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista operating system to include the Ext2 file system. Since it is executed on the same software layer at the Windows NT operating system core like all of the native file system drivers of Windows (for instance NTFS, FASTFAT, or CDFS for Joliet/ISO CD-ROMs), all applications can access directly to Ext2 volumes. Ext2 volumes get drive letters (for instance O:). Files, and directories of an Ext2 volume appear in file dialogs of all applications. There is no need to copy files from or to Ext2 volumes in order to work with them.
