I actually got it to work by using \DosDevices\z: since evidently Windows
recognized the drive (and I had given it a drive letter previously). That
worked, and it mounted wondefully! Thank you! CoLinux r0x0rz!

It's probably better to access it at a lower level of abstraction than "z:".
Who knows how long that will stick?

RE: Fw: [coLinux-users] Reading ext3 drive in CoLinux on WinXP Pro

[Ryan K. <rya...@co...>]

I actually had a similar question and got my partitions to mount in
coLinux with the following lines in my config.xml:

<block_device index="2" path="\Device\Harddisk0\Partition3"
	    enabled="true" />
<block_device index="3" path="\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4"
	    enabled="true" />

For my dual boot system, Partition0 is the NTFS, Partition1 is the linux
boot partition, Partition2 is a FAT32 partition, and Partition4 is the
linux root.  It took some messing around to figure out the partition
numbers, but once I had them it worked like a charm.

There is no Partition0, partition numbers start from 1 (as stated in wiki).

The rule of thumb is to start numbering primary part.s, then logical and 
always skip extended in diskpart output.
