Hi,

I am running DSL Embedded on Windows Server 2003 using NTFS filesystem. How can I access the Windows partition on which DSL Embedded itself is running? I don't have the administrator privileges on this machine.

Thanks for your suggestions.

u need root access in dsl, cuz afaik only root can mount. sudo su will make u root, u maybe need root passwd. under dsl-n u dont if u dont set -secure boot parm. do mount /dev/<hd device> /mnt/<hd device>. i might set type manually. im not sure of there is a ntfs type, vfat will do though i guess, thats the type i use for my ntfs partition. mount -t vfat ... where <hd device> set your hd and partition, like hda1 for your first hard disk and first partition. i dont know if dsl can access ntfs in write mode, dsl-n can not. so keep in mind its read only.

Not quite.  Since you are running DSL under the qemu sandbox, it has some limitations.  See the readme/docs that are included in the zip.

I have access to super-user account in DSL (using sudo su) but don't have administrator rights in Windows account from which I'm running DSL itself.

The problem is that I don't see any /dev/hdax (i.e. no Windows partition is shown).

Any idea how to solve the issue?

Its a Qemu question and not a DSL one. Qemu is a sandbox.
The readme inside the zip file contains some info and the site for Windows Qemu support.
