You need to make a primitive file manager that will display folders and files on the disk. As far as I know - the Linux file system is not visible to Windows. Is it possible to implement such a manager using the Java language that will be able to see these sections if it is launched with Windows?

Of course you can. Any partition can be opened as a binary file (yes, Windows also has device files, if you know where to look for them) - well, knowing the format, you can do anything.
Is it just necessary?

Yes, of course, but you will need good knowledge in the field of Windows, Linux, c language, file systems, driver development!
