Embedded will not let you mount drives? How do I get around this as it is a bit limiting.

When you are using DSL-embedded, you are running the DSL OS from inside the QEMU program.

The QEMU program creates a fake or "virtual" IBM PC computer inside a software window.  This virtual computer is separate from your real PC, so it cannot easily access your REAL hardware (hard drives, USB devices, etc) when running from inside MS Windows.

There are ways around this.

One way is to create a network share on your Windows computer and then use either samba.dsl or the built-in smbclient program to connect to your Windows hard drive and then you can access the files that you wish.

See this thread for an example:
