 wgl: Remember you have to open the .exe with a packer like 7zip.
The Program works fine, it instantly recognized my ext drives and lets me read-access them, 2MB small and tidy -- i like it.
Running it the first time created a tiny registry entry (only a run entry) on my pc, (can be found searching for "diskinternals" e.g.), so i removed that one and tried again - it still worked perfectly and no new entry was created, so it must have been my fault.

Nice portable application :) [2007-02-21 04:45]

 Fred: I try this tool, but it not works for me, until I recognize that I am fool. Reason is that I have Suse Linux which is on ReiserFS partition. So if someone need aplication to copy files from Suse, he can use this http://yareg.akucom.de/ it seems to not write to registry - probably well portable. [2007-09-13 14:22]

 psonar: Seems to need admin rights, so no good for looking at a USB linux install from Windows on a public computer...

Program seems to run fine but gives a "need admin rights" type error message when attempting to search for linux partitions. [2009-04-23 15:44]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
