fsck from a Windows box

Question

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

paragon's linux tools will verify and fix ext* partitions, same as fsck. it has resurrected my dual boot fedora many times. you just need to make sure its not mounted first its pretty simple, albeit shareware. though the reliable r/w mounting ability is worth the cost.
