help!!!!!!!Unable to access /dev/hd0t179

GENERAL Help
1

I am trying to install QNX 6.4.0 on PC
PC is equipped with SATA hard disk. windows 7 installed in first 400 Gb of disk, next 100 GB un-allocated for QNX partition.

  1. After I select “Install to hard drive” option installer writes on screen:
    …
    Trying SATA ahci. Scanning for devices…

Trying EIDE. Scanning for devices…
… found 2 devices

Detected USB. Scanning for devices…

Trying SATA mvSATA. Scanning for devices…

Started installation is interrupted with message on screen:
“unable to access /dev/hd0t179
Mounting filesystems…
Partition installation aborted!
Please remove the installation media, then reboot your machine”

It is interesting that QNX file system is created on hard drive when I look at disk partitions using disk partition tool after reboot.

I read a thread said a solution is enlarge the exsiting patition,but I don’t understand what is this meaning?http://community.qnx.com/sf/discussion/do/listPosts/projects.community/discussion.qnx_momentics_getting_started.topc8694

Can anyone explain this solution or any other solutions??

Many thanks in advance!

Jason,

So you are saying you now have QNX installed on the 100 GB partition and Win 7 on the 400 GB partition. QNX boots fine but Win 7 does not? Is that correct?

How are you deciding which O/S to boot? Are you using the QNX boot loader or a 3rd party one like Grub?

Yes, Im using QNX boot loader

Jason,

Doing a QNX install doesn’t do anything to a windows partition so I’m not sure why Win 7 doesn’t boot.

If you boot QNX and do an ‘fdisk /dev/hd0’ command what does it show you? Do the Windows and DOS partition sizes/types still look correct?

It’s ok now, I fix the startup of win7 with the win7 dvd. and the qnx works fine as well…thx
