I'm not sure if it is possible to access a real xbox disk on a pc . I've
done some testing with our vfat driver on w2k. I've used the fatx file
system. The fatx file system was installed in a normal partition with
the type 0xaa. The disk driver must identify the xbox disk and must
create partition device objects. I'm not sure if disk.sys is able to do
this. I've never used a disk from a xbox because I don't own one.
