There's also another project - ext2fsd
(http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net) by Matt Wu which enables mounting of
ext2/ext3 filesystems as native Windows filesystems (which can then be
assigned drive or volume labels). I was able to use the author's code
(along with a few hints from email correspondences with John Newbigin
- author of explore2fs) when I created a filesystem mounter for
ext2/ext3 as my undergraduate thesis two years ago.
