[ros-general] Re: Big FATX

[Oscar Saavedra]

Those are great news indeed. I've googled and didn't found much info 
about how to make it.

Before i dive in a winxp services pool, can you recommend me any place 
with info about it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. It is a noob question, so please be patient.

Ive read you've made a fatx driver and you are using it for the
development on the xbox.

Now, i'd like to know if this fatx driver can be used to access an
unlocked fatx HD connected to a i386 machine that is booting the reactOS
live CD.

Am i dreaming? Or can this be done?

I just want to know if i could recover my multimedia files from the F
partition using my PC some day.

Yes it can be. Our vfatfs.sys has been tested in Windows before so it 
should work if you wanted to
do it now. Installing our driver on Windows would be a bit of a pain 
because you would need to
manually add the service and tell Windows to use it to mount that drive 
but I know some people
have tested the driver before under Win2k.

Thanks
Steven
