I had different experiences, but this one worked best for me: http://www.fs-driver.org/

There are not that many though. I would suggest you try them out and figure out what works best for you.

	Should be noted that it access `ext2` partitions, even if its an `ext3` partition (no journaling) and that you have to always shutdown correctly before accessing the partition with the other OS. Haven't tested it under Win-64bit nor `ext4`. – voyager Aug 8 '09 at 16:23

What I usually do is I start samba service and have some directory exposed.

I have used explore2fs. Works well on XP. Haven't tried on Vista.
