DFSee doesn't care how it was able to find the HD. If any driver enabled it 
to be seen by DFSee, it can do its things with the tables and partitions, 
including change the type, delete, etc. If the EXT2 has something important 
on it and you don't have Linux installed, boot a live Linux CD an copy it off 
first. Files themselves don't care what type of partition they are on.
