Explore Linux Image created with Acronis True Image in Windows XP
I created an Image of my Linux Server with Acronis True Image.
Now I tryed to mount the image in my WIndows XP computer but when I try to explore it windows asks if I want to format the disk. I guess windows can't explore Linux LVM format.
Is there a driver or software to explore Linux drives in windows xp?

yes windows can't explore linux partitions, and unfortunately there is no any drivers which allow to do this. All i know is true image has it's own explorer and with it's help may be you can make this.
There is a software that allow ext2&3 filesystems to be viewed under windows. But i don't know whether this will help you out of the problem.

I once tried to read an ext3 disk with one of the free products for the joke - and i remember it consumed a lot of memory...
