Re: [coLinux-devel] Utilising pre-installed Linux...

[Richard G. <ric...@ri...>]

\\Device\harddisk2\Volume2 is Window's internal object name for that
partition. If it is set at Index 0 in the XML file, then it becomes
presented by the Linux kernel as cobd0 once inside the partition. Thus some
manual hacking may be required (fstab, etc) I believe to make your existing
Linux partition boot properly.  (cobd0 = coLinux block device 0 IIRC)

By the way, my in-laws are named Benoit :-)

Re: [coLinux-devel] Utilising pre-installed Linux...

[Benoit M. <ben...@cg...>]

ok thx, it runs now

I'm trying to boot using debian file as cobd0 and \\Device\harddisk2\Volume2
as cobd1 (this is just a partition without any fs on it, want to format it
with mkfs.ext3 to begin my own install ;) )
but anytime, it returns can't open device......
I gonna look further tonight, till i'm at work now ;)
Benoit

Re: [coLinux-devel] Utilising pre-installed Linux...

[Richard G. <ric...@ri...>]

Well you must also ask yourself "how many hard drives, and how many
partitions on each?" If you have only one hard drive, and the target
partition is the 4th one on there, then of course you need to modify the
device name :-)

Re: [coLinux-devel] Utilising pre-installed Linux...

[Benoit M. <ben...@cg...>]

this is logic ;-)
Does windows name scsi drives like this??
for ex, two IDE disks and one scsi one, will windows name the scsi drive
\\Device\harddisk3\VolumeX ?
and, what about cdrom drives? \\Device\cdromX ? is that right?
thx
Benoit

Re: [coLinux-devel] Utilising pre-installed Linux...

[Benoit M. <ben...@cg...>]

just to say......
the correct syntax is : \Device\HarddiskVolumeX
X depending on which drive/partition you want to access
for ex :
- 2 disks, 1 partition on each
first : \Device\HarddiskVolume1
second : \Device\HarddiskVolume2

- 1 disk, 2 partitions on it
first : \Device\HarddiskVolume1
second : \Device\HarddiskVolume2

if windows works as usual, primary partitions might be firsts listed then
extended (doens't care on wich disks they are)
