Hi. I am new to syslinux and have been searching for days for a solution to an issue. I feel I am missing something simple. I have a syslinux USB drive made from HP (nice utility they have). It mounts an A: DOS drive and mounts the USB flash drive as C:. However, I also need the actual system hard drive mounted. How do I do that? Is it possible? -Phil

I have used this exact same DOS Image from a CD to copy files to the hard drive from the CD. I am using the CD to do unattended installs. I wazs hoping that a flash drive would save time burning new CDs when a driver update was needed. -Phil -----Original Message----- From: Luciano Rocha [mailto:strange at nsk.no-ip.org] Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 2:50 PM To: syslinux at zytor.com Subject: Re: [syslinux] Mount Hard Drive Once Booted?

D:, etc. (If the BIOS is booting the usb stick as a normal harddisk, then it puts it as C, and I expect the other drives as D, E, ...) -- lfr 0/0 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
