You will have to load an ext2/ext3 driver for your Windows box to recognize the first three.
It has been awhile, but the last time I looked there are several available to choose from.

I've tested EXT-IFS before. It's a great tool

Even after loading the Windows ext2/ext3 driver, Windows Disk Manager will only show you the file system contents.
We want the storage media contents that underlies the file system.
You will have to try some of the Windows "Disk Clone" and/or "Disk Backup" loose in the world to get storage media contents.

I will do the job by attaching the USB to the Linux Box I have in VMWare. The rest of the job seems to be straightforward in Linux. There is also several versions of "Windows DD" availabe, but I prefer Linux.

Hmm...
Well, at this point, you can at least dump the contents of the USB-storage partition.
I would not (yet) run any Windows FAT-32 disk repair programs on it - it would be nice to get the copy of the media before letting some end-user auto-repair program loose on the only copy (the one on the flash media).

It's a good Idea. :-)
