You can try setting up Samba and access indirectly via Windows sharing. Try searching for qemu AND samba

cheers ^thehatsrule^. i can see my pendrive as a physical drive now... no need to specify the -usb option

just add -hda \\:\h:

where h: is the pendrive driver letter (in my case it was h:)

then once in dsl, create a directory (ex: named pendrive) and use the mount command like this:

mount /dev/hda pendrive

that's all...

thanks a lot to everyone who helped...

I have the same problem, i dont know where and how to reach my USB so I can use DSL-embedded to make an USB install inside WinXP.

I did try the quoted suggestion (but instead of "pendrive", my mountpoint is "/mnt/usb" which i created):

mount: /dev/hda already mounted or usb busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda is mounted on /KNOPPIX

My dsl-windows.bat looks like this

Code Sample

REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF

START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -hda \\:\h: -no-kqemu -m 128 -soundhw sb16 -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,5 frugal quiet modules=hdb noscsi nousb nofirewire atapicd noideraid noacpi acpi=off noapm noagp ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe nomce"

CLS
EXIT

Help anyone?
