If you don't have admin rights, there's no way.
Outside of that, you could, mayhaps, use ext2IFS, with a lot of hacking.
Can ext2ifs be run with autorun or single click type of thing? It requires
admin access? I hope it does :).
It does. And it's a kmod+reboot type install, iirc.
Oi. Yeah, a kernel module is probably out.
In general, if you want the ext partition to show up on the system as a
seperate drive, you will have to install a system module. There's no real way
around it. and that requires a reboot.
I don't care if ext$whatever shows up as a seperate partition, but I do
wan the files to somehow be available for read/write. Making them
available via samba share is fine.
If you are just looking to attach to disk images, you could use explore2ext or
some similar tool, i forget the name, which is just an explorer-like tool that
you can attach to ext disk images.
ltools looks most promising from what I found last night.

Hmm, Virtual Volumes looks interesting and is from the guy who did
explore2fs and one of hte ext2ifs projects.

what about QEMU instead of VirtualBox. With a minimal amount of hacking qemu
can get networking (and thus samba) working on a minimal GNU/Linx. LFS?
Debian?
Yeah, qemu should be lighter weight than VirtualBox.
Windows tool calle QemuManager can set up everything in GUI for you, and make
setting up the networking a breeze.
Cool.
My goal is that the drive get stuck in and just magically mount the data
off the free and open partition.
