12: Viewing EXT4 formatted Destination drives in Windows
12.0 Viewing EXT4 formatted Destination drives - Introduction
The Falcon-NEO can format Destination drives using the EXT4 file system. Linux Operating
Systems have native support for EXT4 file systems. Windows, however, does not have native
support for viewing the EXT4 file system. There are several utilities that allow viewing of the EXT4
file system in Windows. Ext2Fsd (http://www.ext2fsd.com/) is a free, open source utility driver
allows EXT4 partitions to be viewable in Windows.
Logicube does not provide full support for Ext2fsd. We provide
basic instructions on how to make this utility work in our
scenario. For Ext2fsd support, please visit their web site above.

Download and install Ext2fsd from the website above. If Ext2fsd is already
installed, skip to step 2.
After installing Ext2fsd,
reboot the computer.
Connect the Destination drive to the computer. The Falcon-NEO can be
used to view the Destination drive. Alternatively, other methods can be
used to connect the drive to the computer (e.g. a write block device).
There are times when Windows will auto-assign a
drive letter to the drive. If it auto-assigns a drive
letter, continue with the analysis process. There is no
need to follow the other steps in these instructions.
If Windows does not auto-assign a drive letter, open
Ext2fsd's Ext2 Volume Manager program.
Locate the Destination drive. The Destination drive should show an EXT4
file system.
