Use the "mount image" command - will give read access to an ext3 image file . The mapdrive utility from the same vendor did not work in my hands.

I tried the Linux Reader program and was able to successfully mount my ext3 .img file. However, it mounts in read-only mode, so you cannot copy files to it like you can when using the FileDisk method.

AFAICR these do not support journaling (maybe this is fixed nowadays). They essentially mount Ext3 as Ext2. Therefore, be sure your filesystem was unmounted cleanly. Ofcourse, you had backups anyway...

Here is a compare between ext2ifs and ext2fsd. They both can mount ext2 and ext3 r/w.

Here is ext2fsd. It might support journaling nowadays.

Explore2FS also works and supports UTF-8. (10 years or so ago this hosed an Ext2 partition of mine because I mounted it r/w. But that was long ago huh

)

He's working on a modular replacement btw.
