Is there any program that is totally equivalent to fsck for ext2/3/4 partitions and runs in Windows?

I need it to scan & repair my Android phone's sd-ext partition on SD. I also know that Windows only mounts the firts partition on a removable drive. I need the utility to scan the second partition on the SD card, like /dev/mmcblk0p2 on my Linux laptop

  • The "correct answer" mark should probably be moved to the other answer, that answers the specific question of "fcsk on Windows", without using a LiveCD. – AzP Oct 20 '18 at 09:36

    it only seems support so called "fast fsck" which should better be named "journal replay" for transactional ext3/4, seems support nothing for ext2 :-( – Arioch 'The Dec 22 '12 at 10:12
  • This should be marked as the "correct answer" since it is actually what the poster asked for. – AzP Oct 20 '18 at 09:33
  • I was looking for the same question & right after reading your answer I opened Ext2fsd but I couldn't found 'fsck' feature. Could you please help? I tried up looking to official website that doesn't exist too. – Shehroz Khan May 10 '19 at 16:06

I didn't hear about fsck for windows, but you may download any LiveCD image of linux, make the bootable CD or usb flash disk (you may download the Windows version of Live USB creator here)
