Check out this link for a program called fsdext2
http://www.globalxs.nl/home/p/pvs/

I've been using this for about a week with no disastrous result.

It allows you to mount your linux partitions in read_only mode from
within win95.  You will be able to browse the entire ext2 filesystem
with explorer and if you wish, backup entire directory structures.

The only nagging issue with the program is that once it is loaded, I
cannot access my CDROM drive until I reboot.  Not a big hassle for me
as I use the CDROM only rarely.    With a bit of luck, this problem
might be isolated to my CDROM drive.
