Copy files from ext3 USB flash drive on Windows 8

Question

I have a USB flash with ext3fs partition on it. I want to open/copy files from this drive but Windows 8 obviously does not recognize it.

Acronis disk manager sees the drive and recognizes ext3 filesystem, but I can't open or copy any files with it.

How do I mount this drive on Windows 8?

Install something like ext2fsd, which allows Windows to mount and read/write to ext file systems.

It claims to support Windows 8.

Simply download and run the .exe - it's a pretty easy install.

I tried that, but it didn't work unfortunately. – Aleksei Petrenko Mar 24 '15 at 01:36

Ended up installing Paragon ExtFS for Windows, worked nicely for me!
