When I use Explore2FS, it shows a drive (hdb4) but doesn't show any folders inside it. Do I have do anything to access the folders? Run with Administrator Permissions, there should be a + next to the drive letter. There is a +, but when I click it, it disappears and I just have the hdb4 icon. I'm running as administrator. Odd. I'm trying the DiskInternal's reader now. T
Re: [H] Accessing Linux partition
Perhaps would be easiest to just boot from some sort of linux LiveCD and copy from the ext3 partition to a FAT or NTFS partition? Never used any of the windows software like ext2fsd, but surprised it doesn't have some sort of file name mangling to let you access folders with illegal characters in the name.

OK. Understand. Guess those :name directories may be linux unique.
