Need help reading ReiserFS under Windows

csimpson · 12-16-2008, 09:06 PM

Hi,

my MSS 300GB drive is not responding in the original enclosure and I would appreciate some help recovering my files under Windows.

I have found, and followed, instructions to mount the drive by using WinHex to modify the first sector and now WinHex shows 3 partitions, 2 16MB ones and 1 279 GB one.

I cannot figure out how to read the 3rd partition. I have tried installing Total Commander and the es2fx.wfx plug in but I don't know how to "attach it by using Total Commanders Network Neighborhood."

I have also tried RFSTool but it does not show any partition.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated as I did not back up as often as I should have.
