You may not need a Linux environment to read a EXT3 drive - any XP Windows computer works fine, but you need to google for EXT2/EXT3/XFS win32 drivers and install them first.    See http://www.ext2fsd.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ext2fsd.com/ and http://www.fs-driver.org/" target="_blank">http://www.fs-driver.org/ or you can try colinux (runs Linus as a Win32 application, see http://polishlinux.org/linux/ext3-reiserfs-xfs-in-windows-thanks-to-colinux/" target="_blank">http://polishlinux.org/linux/ext3-reiserfs-xfs-in-windows-thanks-to-colinux/ ) Of course, if all else fails, boot Linux from a CD http://ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm" target="_blank">http://ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm :)
