I have an EXT3 4TB drive which I have salvaged from a Linux machine. I want to use the drive as a read/write file storage device for a Windows 2008 Server R2 guest O/S. The host is ESXi 6.5 on a Dell Optiplex. Will I need to reformat the drive to NTFS or FAT32 from within the guest O/S before I can use it, or is there any way that I can retain the existing EXT3 format and content and use it in the Windows guest without reformatting it?
