Hi again film-tech

Apologies if im touching on old topics, im quite new to this site.
We run a NEC NC2000C, with a QUBE server for our 3D features, and are regulary sent USB trailers to ingest to the system.

Recently i was asked to check some USB drives for a Sanctum trailer that was required at another site, I cannot read the USB on my projection PC, and the QUBE server will not show me what is currently on the drive, it will only show me if there is something there that has not been ingested yet.

-
Is there any packages out there that would allow a windows PC to view the contents of these USB drives?
-

Again i do apologise if im being vague with descriptions, Im learning day by day:)

Regards, Kyle.

Many USB sticks are formatted for EXT2/3 (Linux.
