No, I read them with 7-Zip without ext2fsd.
And they don't get a letter, they get the partition's location

\\.\PhysicalDrive0\4.img\



Thanks, Shadow, first time ever I see this and it works indeed in
7zip.

It is something peculiar to 7zip, Windows Explorer refuses to take
seriously \\.\PhysicalDrive0\.


No idea. I just fiddled around until it appeared.

When you manage to assign a letter to a Linux partition via ext2fsd or
otherwise, you can access the ext-partition from any file manager
under Windows.


Yes. And it's instant. 7-Zip takes ages to "mount"the
partition.
