Hi.
I have a Laptop system with a 48 GB hard drive. There are two partitions in
this hard drive, a FAT 32 (MS Windows 2000 pro) and a QNX 4 partition.
I can boot fine into MS Windows and QNX 4.25.
How can I access the MS Windows partition from QNX?
When I do an ‘ls /dev’ it shows ‘/dev/hd0t28’.
When I run ‘Fatfsys &’, it doesn’t mount a /dos/c drive only the /dos/a.
What wrong. What do I need to do to fix this?
TIA
Augie
On my machine I get a FAT32 partition to show up as /dev/hd0t12, and FAT
partitions to be /dev/hd0t6. I’m not sure what type 28 is.
Help information on Fatfsys shows that it scans for 1, 4, 6, 11, 12, and 14
for mountable partitions.
Are you sure that it’s not an NTFS partition that you’ve installed Win2k on?
If, from Windows, you open My Computer, right click the drive, and go to
Properties, it shows the partition type. Mine says NTFS for my NTFS
partition, and FAT32 for my other partitions.

Mine shows FAT32. This is how I asked DELL to make the laptop.

Fatfsys takes a dos_drive=host_device command line option.

Try:
Fatfsys c=/dev/hd0t28 &

Hi David.
This seems to work. Why doesn’t Fatfsys automatically recognize the FAT 32
partition?
TIA

Fatfsys looks by partition type – there are certain numbers that
are “normal” for FAT partitions. It is documented as looking for
partition types 1,4,6,11,12, and 14.
28 isn’t, or at least didn’t used to be, a normal partition “type” for
a FAT partition.
The drive=partition is there to allow for other partition types to
be chosen.

Are you using a special bootloader? Some of them (Boot Magic and System
Commander for example) can “hide” FAT partitions by changing the the
partition type. This is usually configurable.

Hello,
My Boot Magic is in french so I won`t be able to give you the exact names.
Running Windows, start the Boot Magic configuration tool
(Programs/PowerQuest BootMagic/BootMagic Configuration)
Select your QNX partition in the menu and click on Properties
The second tab of the property window should be something like “Visible
Partitions”; click on it.
For each disk, set the “Ignore default selection” checkbox and then set the
checkboxes on the FAT partition that should be visible (i.e. all).
I hope that this helps,

Thanks.
It worked. It now shows it as /dev/hd0t12 and Fatfsys is happy.
BTW, How do handle windows names with spaces?
