Is there something like explore2fs for ext3 and ext4 so that you can access it while in windoze?

you mean http://www.fs-driver.org/ ? ext3,ext4 are backwards compatible to ext2 (you lose journaling and some other nice features as you roll back).

When you revert to ext3/4 you usually end up having run a checkfs on boot though.
