For various reasons, I'm trying to access an EXT3 partition from Windows. I
know of several ways, the most notable of which being the ext2 IFS

but the IFS and most other solutions don't seem to work too well on Windows
7. Running the remaining options under 64-bit Win only seems to make things
worse.
Hello,
I am NOT an expert, but I too am facing cross-platform compatibility
problems. Have you tried re-formatting to ExtFAT? I am currently
setting up file storage which has to be accessible by Linux, XP,and
Win7/8, and MAC and this 'seems' to offer an all-round-compatibility
answer.
Originally designed by Microsoft for use with memory cards, ExtFAT
(also known as exFAT) can be read by a wide range of OS including all
the above and MAC from OS10x onward. It is free of FAT32 constraints
and can cope with large files sizes and very large capacity drives.
Drivers for XP(SP3) and Linux can be downloaded.
