Linux Reader: Read Linux files using Windows
Two years ago we introduced you to Ext2 IFS for Windows, which is a driver that lets you read and write to ext2 file systems from within windows. But unless you're a Linux guru, it's probably not a great idea to go mucking around with your Linux file systems willy nilly, lest you find yourself unable to boot into Ubuntu next time you try.
Linux Reader is a Windows-Explorer like program that grants you read only access to your Linux partitions. So if you have a picture, video, OpenOffice.org document, or other file that you just want to access from Windows, Linux Reader could be the safer option.

I have a linux based server that recently burned up the power supply. Toshiba no longer makes replacement power supplies for these and they are proprietary. I need to convert the files stored on the two 2.5"hard drives to Windows based files so I can move them to a different system. That way I can use them again. I do not have a dual boot system. If I can install those drives in a Windows based computer, Will this progam workto get me access to those files and programs so I can copy or move them over?
