How to view Linux files / HDDs / partitions?

Hi,

I'm running Vista Ultimate and I need to "see" the Linux partitioned
HDDs and files that I have on an external RAID-0 enclosure connected
via eSATA.

I don't want Vista to initialize nor modify those Linux partitions and
files,
I just need to be able to see them, to check the different partitions sizes,
allocations, etc.

I had no problem when I was running Windows XP using the Parangon Mount
Everything software or Partition Magic, but those programs are not
compatible
with Vista now.

I'll appreciate any advice and suggestions about how to solve this.

Thanks in advance,
George.

Acronis Disk Management Suite is something worth getting if you move and
resize partitions much. It's just like good old Partition Magic.

Oops, it's called Disk Director Suite, but I'm sure you worked that out.
