Click on the Folder Up icon next (left) to the edit field with
"Computer\" in it until you get a screen where all logical drives and
also the physical disks are listed. If you have a non-encrypted ext2/3/4
partition on your HD(s) it should be listed there. Double click to open.


Thanks. Please see the note by "Shadow" to your post elsewhere in this
thread.

I already clicked everything I could think of, where 7-zip does not seem to
even "see" any of the dual-boot Linux partitions.

At least 7zip didn't work for me where my dual boot setup is 100% standard.

Can a third person try it out to report back for the team?


Yes, same results here, All I can get are all my windows drives and DVD
ROM, no sign of my Linux installation no matter what I click or open.


I rechecked and I can see and read my ext4 partitions if I right-click
on the PhysicalDriveX that has them and select Open Inside #. This gives
a list with all the partitions on the drive and double-clicking an entry
in turn opens a view with all the files and directories in the root.

HTH.
