How can I access Ext3 partitions from within Windows 7

[the8thstar]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a way to access my Ubuntu partitions from Windows 7. I have tried several programs, but ultimately, Windows tells me it needs to format the Ubuntu drive to access it...

Have you guys been able to access Ext3 drives? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.
