Ext2read 2.1 released



we are pleased to announce a new version of our ext2read project
which we created 6 years ago. we were motivated to redsign and rework the project after i installed
the new ubuntu karmic. By default it used Ext4 file system with Extent feature enabled. we could not find any tools to read ext4 filesystems from windows . So we went ahead and wrote this program.

FEATURES:
Simple UI designed using QT4.
View/Read Ext2/3/4 partitions.
Recursively Copy the entire folder or even /
Support for external USB disks.
Support for disk and filesystem  images. For eg. Wubi users can just
open their root.disk file through this program.
LRU based Block cache for faster access.

 If you find any bugs, have any questions or comments. Please let us know.

The executables and sources can be downloaded from http://ext2read.sf.net

NOTE: This program must be run as Administrator. right click the file
and select run as Administrator.

This is not a transparent file system driver jusr a user space tool.

  1. oops. it was supposed to be static build. There seems to be unwanted dependency to mingw runtime. I will fix this tonight and re-release the binaries.
    Thanks for pointing it out.

  2. The dependency problem has been fixed. now, just the single executable works.

    The program is pretty straightforward to use. use it just like explorer.
    * double click to go inside the folder.
    * right click and select properties to view file properties.
    * right click and select copy to copy file or folder.

    cheers.
