DiskInternals Linux Reader provides several disk management tools in an easy-to-use interface. Most notably it includes a tool for reading disks formatted to to a variety of file systems for Mac and Linux, as well as virtual disks from VMware, VirtualBox, VirtualPC and Parallels (VMDK, VHD, VDI, HDS). The program can also create disk images. The interface includes a disk usage window, basic file search, and a preview option for pictures and text.
Can create disk images (.img and .dsk), including boot sector. Filesystems supported include: Ext2/3/4; ReiserFS, Reiser4; HFS, HFS+ (Mac OS); FAT, exFAT; NTFS, ReFS (next-gen Windows filesystem); UFS2; and in preview-only mode: ZFS, XFS, Hikvision NAS and DVR.
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).

v3.4.0.27
Tested with Mac-formatted HFS+ drive today and this worked beautifully. Very easy and fast.
v2.5
@Midas: I agree. I was the one who added the 64-bit download link before Checker removed it.
v2.3
@checker: after my experience with the largely illiterate (*ducks*) masses of the Net, I believe a link is more eloquent and straightforward than a note. For one, it's part of the the database structure, while a note is easy to overlook. I motion for the link to be reinstated.
v2.3
This program saved me when I had a Win7 VMware installation go corrupt on me. Fantastic.
v2.3
@Midas: That's why I added "A 64-bit version is available (within the folder)." at the description ;)
v2.3
@checker: without the 64-bit link, unattentive newcomers might assume the program is 32-bit only...
v2.3
@AdrianK_IT: Thanks ... database entry corrected ;)
v2.3
There does not seem to be a need to provide separate 32-bit and 64-bit download links; they appear to point to the same file (which contains both versions, when extracted/installed).
v2.3
@pfw70: Thanks, I removed the $INTDIR step from extraction instructions.
