How to View and Open Linux Files in Windows

We’re all aware that Linux system files can’t be viewed through Windows. But with the current distro’s of Linux now, you have the ability to view and navigate all the files and folder on your windows partition without having any technical issues.

The freeware is called #-Link-Snipped-#. It is not a driver nor it does not integrate with your Windows Explorer. It is a complete viewer of ext2/ext3 of Linux from Windows and it resembles the look of the native Windows Explorer. Saving on that partition is prohibited to ensure Linux’s stability. But why did I say that you can open the file too? Well basically, you can actually copy the file from the viewer and paste it in your Windows partition, that simple. You don’t have to worry putting it back coz Linux can read your Windows partition.

Another freeware is #-Link-Snipped-#, that provides Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003 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. It works and can be accessed with your native Windows Explorer. Highly Recommended!

Hope this helps someone!!! 😀

    There are a number of evident merits of the program, which you should know. First of all, DiskInternals Linux Reader is absolutely free. Secondly, the program provides for read-only access and does not allow you to make records in file system partitions. This guarantees that the interference in an alterative file system will not affect the work of Linux later. Apart from this, it is necessary to note, that it gives you an opportunity to use common Windows Explorer for extracting data. A preview option for pictures is one more pleasant point, which is worth mentioning.

    How to get safe and quick access to any file systems? DiskInternals Linux Reader is an easy and short way to solve the problem!

    While saving, it ignores file security policies. It means that it is possible to access absolutely any file on a Linux disk from Windows. The program can create and open disk images.

    Linux Reader is 100% FREE.

    Try it now. You can download a full-featured freware version of DiskInternals Linux Reader for free.
