This is on Win11 all but the last months worth of updates.
ext4 didn't work, hung on reboot, uninstaller hangs
How do one think this could be modified it to perform by CLI way as well... i'm just looking up codes...

We have now managed to get the driver signed for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Install program can be downloaded here https://github.com/bobranten/Ext4Fsd (the version on SourceForge is old and can corrupt youre partition)
Hi Is there any new version which allows UNLOAD of Ext2Fsd?
EDIT: Deleted this message and moved it as a reply above. Couldn't find a way to fully delete.
I've also looked for other tools in the past, and frankly, this one is the best and most seamless free one (didn't know about the paid ones actually). Shame it's a bit undermaintained (even though it's obviously seen a lot of work and has worked fairly well for a long time).

Did not use Bosse's version much as it also had the same problem, so can't comment on its stability. If we are the only ones facing the problem then the developer will not try to work on a fix too. Hoping the developer notices the problem with SSDs and ext4 soon. Did not find any other free good tools for this job too. paragon's and diskinternals' tools are only the ones that do this job but many features are behind a paywall. Please inform me if you find anything free that can read/write and mount...
I actually have the same problem, with an interesting twist: the FSD actually recognizes a different partition on an HDD (not an SSD) as ext4, while simultaneously refusing to recognize a partition on an SSD as ext4 (it says it's ext3 and when I mount it it seems unformatted). Another potentially significant difference is that I created the ext4 partition that isn't recognized a few weeks ago, while the one that is recognized I created a long time ago, so possibly with an older kernel and thus ext4...
I have an m.2 ssd in external enclosure with both ntfs and ext4 partitions but ext4 is wrongly identified as ext3 and thus can't browse folders when assigned a drive letter. Any fixes? or am I the only one facing this issue? edit: I am using ext2 volume manager. Did not work on original ext2fsd from sourceforge so, I also tried and currently have installed the new driver from http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ after I saw few pointing to this for more latest driver.

I downloaded Ext2Fsd-0.53 from your site and am trying to use it for file management, but I am not sure how to use it. Can you please provide me with a user's manual for Ext2Fsd-0.53?
There is a new beta version you can try: http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/

Ext2Fsd 0.68 will corrupt filesystems with new features like metadata checksums and 64-bit blocknumbers. Ext2Fsd 0.69 refuses to mount filesystems with new features it does not understand so it is safer to try. The latest version is 0.70 beta from http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ it support both metadata checksums and 64 bit-blocknumbers. You should use 0.70b if you have a modern Linux system.
I cannot get ext2fsd to display the Ext2 Volume manager screen (to present mount points or the Ext volumes). The task manager shows both the Ext2Mgr.exe and Ext2Srv.exe both running. I am trying to run this on Win 8.1 64 bit. I tried clicking on Ext2Mgr but it only starts another task of Ext2Mgr. I uninstalled Ext2 from my system and reinstalled it. No luck! What can I do now?
Hello Gabriel! I have exactly the same problem. I see a year has passed since then. Could you finally figure it out? Thank you.
Thank you I will try that this week... I will report success or failure here. Cheers
If it is an external drive you need to connect to Linux machine; if it is connected to your windows machine try Gparted Live or another live Linux distro. Determine the device number and partition. It is something like /dev/sdxX, "x" is the device number (although it is a "number" it goes like a, b, c, d, etc.) and "X" is the partition number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Then issue the resize2fs -s /dev/sdxX from Linux command line interface e.g. terminal window.
Hi: Need some help. I have a Channel Master DVR that died. It uses an external USB drive. I want to recover the files to my Win 10 machine. It can be done but requires Ext2Fsd.... I first downloaded Ext2Fsd version 69 and uninstalled it for version 64.... I thought going to 64 would help. The ISSUE as above Windows is saying I must format before using drive.

Can't open mounted ext4 partitions
Got the exact same issue today with version 0.69 on Windows 10 Pro x64 2004 (19041.508). I had to use a restoration point to fix my system. I don't know if it's linked to incompatibility with Ext4 64 bits volumes…
Hello! Sorry for using this old post, but i have the same problem ! I've a Dual Boot with Windows 10 last version and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ! When i use Ext2FSD , it works perfectly with my external USB drive and recognized it in EXT4, but the Master partitions (/ and Home 20.04) on SDA are recognized in ext3 and no possibility to change its in setting ! (Perharps a new version (0.70) can solved this trouble) ! I use Windows only for Games and Ubuntu for all works i need ! Thanks for this program !

Problem still exist with new window 10 and Ubuntu installation using ext4 partition format. Am using v0.69 of ext2fsd. System has never had 0.68 installed. Old laptop with both windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 and ext2fsd v 0.69, works correctly.

Hey, I stumbled upon this forum looking for a fix of why Ext2Fsd 0.69 wasn't mounting my devices. Then I found out that 0.68 worked, and indeed it did. But after rebooting to Manjaro, it complained about broken partition, and it seems it was about that Superblock issue. Ran fsck and it cleared right out. I, then, removed the 64 bit flag using the "resize2fs -s" trick. However 0.68 was still breaking my Superblock. However, it seems that removing the 64 bit flag actually made 0.69 mount properly --...

Hi hippo31, Although the 'resize2fs -s' trick may not be the solution to the 'issue' of this topic, I can confirm that it solved my problem as well, so, thank you very much for sharing! In my case, I have several raspberry pi's booting/running from micro sd cards, of which I make images using 'Image for Windows' (from terabyteunlimited.com; no affiliation!). This creates image files of the sd cards with a .tbi extension. Using one of their utility programs called TBImount, in combination with Ext2Fsd,...

I was not able to get it working. Using LinuxReader64 now.
Same issue here. I actually had things working, trashed my linux install, re-installed linux (removed windows drive while doing so) and now I get the same error message that Ahmet gets after I assign a drive letter to my ext3 partition and then try to click on that drive.
I use V0.69 in Windows 10 and have the same problem as everyone else here. Volume Manager GUI doesn't show up after I accept the Windows Account Control prompt, not even when I run it as Administrator. Edit: Volume Manager ran yesterday. Earlier today I updated Windows 10 and since restarting the PC I haven't been able to run Volume Manager. Maybe this have something to do with WIndows refusing to run non-signed drivers?

If you are using an external SDCard or portable hard drive, it's best to use the USB Icon in the Taskbar (lower right side of the taskbar) right click and "Eject" the disk. That will flush any chaching to the media.
This has also happened to me without system crashes etc. That is the file edits that have been made have not been committed to disk. Currently I am trying to flush cache manually often to prevent this. Part of the issue might be that I am working with a slow media. Could the cache (or cache flushing) be made more aggressive (or disable it)? Or a setting to that effect? Currently I am left being unsure if my edits have been written down or not.
I am on Widows Pro 10 1809. I installed Ext2Fsd for read only and assigned drive letter. However whenI double click the ext4 formatted disk in windows explorer it gives me "You need to format the disk in drive before you can use it" error. How to resolve this issue. There is already Ubuntu 18.0 installed on the disk. Thanks.

Just to clarify, I had to uninstall it, so I could use my computer as I am used to. Didn't actually test if the issue persists even after uninstalling, or it was really just because of this incompatibility.

The problem might be related to defect 179 (driver not signed).
I did a few file transfers from a TabletPC running W7 to my main PC W10 when Ext2fsd was installed. The file that ended up on the W10 computer were full of garbage (on a Windows partition of course since I disabled the Ext2 write mode in the Extefsd install as I stated in my earlier message). Now I have a file that I can't even delete! See the attache picture. Fortunately I did just a couple of file transfers and I hope that the directory structure of my Windows partitions was not damaged. Still...
ext2fsd ends up breaking my W10: black desktop up to no reboot

Due to stability issues, getting WHQL signature is quite unlikely. Might need to disable SB for now.

I would like to add my support for this feature request. It would be INCREDIBLY helpful if the Volume Manager displayed the labels for the volumes (both Windowx and Linux, etc). It would also be nice if the Volume Manager window could be re-sized, and if the column order could be changed.

Hello, Does it possible to disable journal attribute for EXT3,4 partition in Windows by Ext2Fsd ? If yes, please tell my how to do it. I want to disable this for my pendrive. Thank you.
Mounting a drive that was not cleanly unmounted, or anyway dirty, always crashes my Windows 7 (CACHE_MANAGER): BCCode: 34 BCP1: 0000000000000AB6 BCP2: FFFFFFFFC0000420 BCP3: 0000000000000000 This is really annoying: now i'll always connect to a linux PC/VM, check it and then use it under Windows. Additionally: i properly shut down Windows, why it ended up like that? Shouldn't the shutdown properly flush caches & Co? Cheers!
Getting this with Rainbow Six Siege now too -- it seems like Battleye doesn't like Ext2Fsd! Oh well.
I got the same problem. The hard drive was created with cfdisk and mkfs.ext4 on Arch Linux. With v0.69 the file system displayed is ext3 and I can't browse files. With v0.68 everything works fine and the file system displayed is ext4. But I was recently visiting a friend and used v0.69 to mount the same hard drive and there it worked flawlessly. Also if I recall correctly I even used v0.69 on my system for a time and it worked. The issue doesn't seem to be reproducible on every system.
.53 also worked for me on windows 10.
I have the same problem with ubuntu 17.10, win10, ext4, v0.69 but when I use v0.65 everything is fine.
Hi all, I had this same problem in both Windows 7 & 10, I couldn't figure out the problem until I remembered that I had upgraded to the latest version, from what it turns out was a really old version (hence the upgrade). I'd uninstalled and installed at least 3 previous versions with no joy. So just to see if it worked, I uninstalled 0.69, let it restart the PC, ran ccleaner, installed my old (original) version, restarted once more. So I plugged in my EXT3 usb stick and waited with baited breath........
Windows disk manager and similar apps cannot start when SD card with Fat+Ext4 partitions is connected using USB adapter
Exactly same issue in Windows 7 64bit. Ext2fsd 0.69 release. Driver is running, so Volume Mgr but no Window opened. Maybe its better thant corrupting my ext4 Ubuntu 16.94 partitions, like some bugs reports mention, but still missing at least read-only support. See alos Post #164. I filed also a new ticket on Windows 7 group.
Volume Manger does not show up in WIndows 7 64bit (Ext2fsd version 0.69) It's apparently related to an open ticket 154 with same title but WIndows 10. Freshly installed on december 17.
