You cannot write to any partitions/disks from Linux Reader, meaning you cannot edit files - you can only view them.

With Linux Reader you are given read-only access to files. Since it is a program that runs in Windows, the main use of DiskInternals Linux Reader is to read Linux (Ext2/3/4 or ReiserFS) and Mac (HFS/HFS+) partitions/disks. What Is DiskInternals Linux Reader?ĭiskInternals Linux Reader is a program that reads partitions/disks formatted with Ext2/3/4, ReiserFS, HFS/HFS+, FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems. DiskInternals Linux Reader aims to change that. The difference in file systems makes it difficult to access files stored in Linux/Mac from Windows. One issue with dual-booting Linux/Mac with Windows are the different file systems: Windows uses NTFS whereas Linux uses Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 or ReiserFS and Mac uses HFS/HFS+. My guess is even as a Linux enthusiast and/or Mac user you are dual-booting with Windows because, frankly, it is extremely hard to ditch the operating system most of the world uses.
