Review by Jerome Johnston (Cybersecurity Editor)

There are numerous computer users who have two operating systems installed on the same computer, for example Windows and Linux. One operating system is used for multimedia and text editing purposes, while the other can be used for hosting websites, running FTP servers and so on. The problem is that Linux partitions cannot be accessed from Windows and in case the user needs a file which is located on a Linux partition, he will lose a lot of time booting into Linux, saving the file on a USB memory stick and then copying it into Windows.

A much better way for accessing files stored on Linux partitions is by using the Ext2Fsd application. Ext2Fsd allows you to access any Linux partition, no matter its size, and retrieve data from it, as if it was a regular Windows partition. After installing and running the application, the user will be presented with an intuitive interface which will clearly list all the system partitions, including the Linux and Windows ones.

By double clicking on any of the displayed partitions, the user will be able to assign a drive letter to it, so that it will be accessible from My Computer. What's more, the same window that allows assigning the drive letter can also display various information regarding the partition, like its free and used size, its type, as well as the total size of the hard disk. From the top menu, the user is able to configure Ext2Fsd to automatically start at every Windows startup.

Pros

It allows you to access any Linux partition, no matter its size. Besides that, it allows assigning any drive letter to a Linux partition and accessing it from My Computer. Furthermore, it can start together with Windows.

Cons

The user should have some knowledge about Linux and Linux partitions in order to use the application at full scale. Ext2Fsd allows you to access any Linux partition from Windows, in the easiest way possible.
