EXT2/EXT3 on WinXP
« on: February 23, 2010, 08:47:55 PM »
I am at the point where I want to upgrade my current drives in my DNS-321. However I don't have enough space to backup the entire contents of the drive. So my Plan was to get two 2TB drives and install them on the NAS.

Now I was planning to plug my old drives directly to my computer via SATA using a windows XP machine. Is there any programs out there that will enable me to read EXT2/EXT3 file systems so that I can copy the contents back to the NAS?

I've used ext2fsd on XP Pro with drives formatted by the 321 as EXT2 without RAID and it worked well.
