Mounting ext3 in Windows

[Jinx-Wolf]

I know it's possible to give an ext3 partition a drive letter in windows via http://www.fs-driver.org/

My question is, "Is there ANY way to mount an ext3 partition as a FOLDER in Windows?"

I planned on giving up Windows forever, and switched my Media Partition from Fat32 to Ext3, but Windows 7 isn't that bad, and I need it for a couple programs.

Before I mounted my partition as My Documents in Windows, and I would like to do the same without formating (seeing that my external bit the dust, and I can't go dish out a hundred bucks for another one).

I know it's highly unlikely that I can do this, but just thought I'd ask.

-Thanks

Why don't you revert back your ext3 media partition to FAT32 or NTFS ?

I would if I could, but I have 500 GB of data to back up, and no place to back it up to.

I can stand to lose about 200 GB of it (as last resort), but that still leaves me with 300 GB of irreplaceable data (home movies, pictures, etc).

If there is no way, I'll just hold off until I can get another external.

I use this (http://www.fs-driver.org/). Completely awesome and you can mount them as read only so when windows crashes it doesn't fubar the ext2/3 partitions.

Forget it that's the same thing you were talking about. I'm a bit lost I suppose as to what you're trying to do. You can still give the drives letters right? and use them from windows?

...if you're lucky enough to have them start working ;)

You can move your User folder to another drive, but I don't think it's possible to move your User folder to an ext drive. That's a Windows thing, and Windows doesn't support it.

What's so bad about just having it accessible as a drive letter? It is possible in Windows Explorer to put a link to a directory on your ext drive in the 'Favorite Links' section in the left pane.

Any way I can get this working Windows 7? I tried the usual and it says it only runs on Vista.
