ext4 integration in windows 8 - access through explorer












3














I know there are similar questions; however none I could find that addressed accessing ext4 through explorer, most others simply use a third party application.



However, my question is; is there a way to integrate, said third party application, in explorer, allowing one to access the hard drive as if it was natively supported, i.e. though my computer.



Otherwise, could someone suggest a working windows 8 third party application? ext2fsd and ext2explore don't seem to work for me.

Ext2fsd and ext2explore seem to the most popular choices on the web for the job you want. However, bare in mind that they don't always leave the linux filesystem in a consistent state.



Anyway, these options do not work for you and i am not aware of a reliable application that can do what you want. The best thing to do is to use a linux live cd (ubuntu, puppy linux, damn small linux, etc) to boot your pc from it and then do anything on the ext4 partition like a boss.
