I found a wiki entry on how to mount an NTFS VMware Virtual Disk Image (vmdk) and another link. I want to mount an ext3 vmdk file on Windows XP. How can I do that?

The VMware-mount-5.5.0-18463.exe utility mounts NTFS filesystems created with vmplayer 3.0.0 build-197124.

you need vmware mount, and an ext3 driver. Mount the drive with vmware mount, and as long as you have a driver that works, it should be readable.

tried using vmware-mount.exe with the ext2fsd by first mounting the vmdk with vmware-mount.exe on z: and then running ext2fsd. ext3 wasn't detected.. – iceman Jan 13 '10 at 12:12
