Ok just confirms what I was thinking Good thread for reference for sure. I have no idea how to mount a physical HD with vmware player to access the partitions but it looks like it should be possible. Interested to see if anyone does this. I would think just add the drive with VMware settings but I haven't tried this myself. Joined Mar 26, Messages 1 0. Problems Accessing EXT3 format in Windows 7 I had hoped that this was exactly the sort of reference guide that was going to save my life - but sadly not yet!
The device stopped showing one of the drives and it was feared that that drive had failed. To discount drive failure as the cause, I've bought an external SATA kit to plug in the drives via USB, and after hours of wondering why I couldn't see the drives in Explorer as they both seem to spin up and access just fine , I've now discovered that the Cisco device uses the EXT3 file format.
Both drives show up and are recognised in the Disk Management console of Win 7 Computer Admin, but neither can be mounted or accessed.
Cisco have been hopeless in assisting me get onto the drives to check data integrity. I don't use and x64 version of Win 7, and thus far tried EXT2FSD, which installed and loaded, appeared to mount the drives and assign them with a drive letter, but when you try and access the drive in Windows Explorer, it reports it as "unformatted".
The help file with the software is shite and simply says that you should ensure that the software service is started which it is , and this makes no difference - therefore, I cannot get this to work. I've also now tried Exxplore2FS as from this table, it seemed like the best overall software. It installed fine, but doesn't seem to do anything?!
When it loads, it appears to load ok, but the windows are all blank and there doesn't seem to be a way to actually point the software to the volume that is thus far not showing in Win Explorer - seems to be far better laid out in terms of GUI, but with piss all functionality in terms of accessing an internal hard drive that is connected via a USB kit! All I want to do is read it, and copy off the data - I won't be using the format again as it clearly doesn't mix well with Windows, and want to be able to copy the data to another external NTFS drive for recovery and ongoing access - will be formatting the two EXT3 drives after recovery and selling the Cisco device!
Any suggestions for a piece of software that will do this, will be massively appreciated! Joseph87 New Member. Joined Jul 16, Messages 1 0. Joined Jul 6, Messages 4 0.
Any news on that? I'm urgently looking a reliable tool to mount EXT 4 drives and images. From visiting wepages I see that Paragon's tool claims to cope with them - can you please confirm that to me? The level of sophistication of the Ext2 file system driver implementation is comparable to Windows native file system drivers. The "Ext2 Installable File System" software package is distributed as a single executable solution, complete with all of the features.
It is a setup wizard which installs and configures the Ext2 file system driver. The screenshots section contains some images of it. Furthermore, "IFS Drives" is installed at the computer's control panel, which allows you to assign drive letters to Ext2 volumes.
The screenshots section section contains an image of it. Windows is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. Linux is a trademark of Linus Torvalds. All other trademarks and service marks are the property of their respective owners. What's unique about this software?
Supports both the 32 bit x86 and the 64 bit x64 platform. Includes drivers with a digital signature for Windows Vista x64 or higher. All operations you would expect: Reading and writing files, listing directories, creating, renaming, moving and deleting files or directories, querying and modifying the volume's label. UTF-8 encoding. EDIT: According to the software developer I contacted him this driver does not support Windows 7, but support will come "eventually.
Except for the fact that I have to set up the drive letter every Windows 7 boot. I've been having some problems with it as well. When I contacted the developer, he said that a Windows 7 version of the driver was in the works for the distant future.
