#24 EXT2 image won't mount unders Windows 10

[Dave Nadler]

I have a small 128MB CF card image that mounts AOK using ImDisk under Windows 7.
Using the latest ImDisk version 2.10 and/or toolkit, when I try to mount the first EXT2 partition in the image under Windows 10, I get the error messages in the attached image (invalid file system, Windows You need to format the disk) .
The image is available at [http://www.nadler.com/Antares/20191222_35E33_hda_snapshot].
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards, Dave

ImDisk Toolkit embeds no file system driver. So if you want to mount an EXT2 volume, you need to install an EXT2 driver such as Ext2Fsd.

And as far as I know, it's not different for Windows 10 or 7.

Be careful, there may be still a bug.

Apologies, I forgot that, haven't needed this for a few years...

I tried Ext2Fsd-0.69, but its service won't start. Seems NFG for current Windows 10.
See: https://sourceforge.net/p/ext2fsd/support-requests/

The driver I formerly used under Windows 7/8 is Ext2IFS_1_12.
If you set the setup program's compatibility mode to Vista and run as administrator,
the install program crashes/hangs windows, but it seems to actually install despite that!
Aaarrrggg...

So a few reboots later I've finally got it...
Thanks again for the help and your great utility, much appreciated!
Happy Holidays, Best Regards, Dave
