  Are you saying that:

  - You have a computer

  - The computer will have multiple partitions

    - One with Windows

    - One with CentOS

  - You want to boot to Windows

  - You want to run the installed CentOS from Windows via coLinux

   

  ?

   

  If so, I do believe you can accomplish this by providing the partition to coLinux.

   

    "C:\Program Files\coLinux\colinux-daemon.exe" kernel=vmlinux cobd0=\\.\Volume{.} root=/dev/cobd0

   

  where in 'Volume{.}', you replace it with the _non-mounted_ ("no mount points") entry that is reported by MOUNTVOL.EXE, assuming that the CentOS partition is formatted with a filesystem that Windows will not mount.  Don't provide a _mounted_ partition to coLinux, since then you'd have two Operating Systems trying to use the same filesystem simultaneously (kaboom)!

   

  I haven't tested this suggestion.
