Hi, it should not depend on dosemu, the windows installer should support ntfs. If you can remember your last non-unattended installation: you can format a drive with ntfs for the installation. So it is supported by the windows installer. Also the installation with the nt5install script should work, but the boocode is different and in other sectors than in FAT32. So just take a look here: http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs-partition-boot-sector.htm
To extract the boot code from an exisiting ntfs-partition: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=bootstrap_vista_sektor_1.bin bs=1 skip=84 count=426 dd if=/dev/sda1 of=bootstrap_vista_sektor_2.bin bs=1 skip=512 count=7680 Restore in the other way and with "seek" insted "skip". You will need the following packages on the boot-cd: ntfs-3g (http://www.ntfs-3g.org) (for mounting/writing) ntfsprogs (http://www.linux-ntfs.org/) for formatting fuse (for ntfs-3g) It would not work with the dos bootdisks, but if you integrate an ntfs driver for dos (there was an comercial version from sysinternals.com, but sysinternals is moved to the microsoft site... and now I cant dfind the ntfsdos an more... ). Hope this spend some time for you.... greetings mario Am Sonntag, den 27.01.2008, 02:00 +0100 schrieb Nagilum: > Hi > > As mentioned before, it would be nice, if we could hold existing NTFS > partitions for install. > My question is: Why doesn't that work?
