Comment:
Hello guys,
recently i partitioned my 256 MB MMC card that i use in my Siemens SX1 mobile phone to EXT2-FAT16-SWAP in order to run linux on my telephone. Now the EXT2 partition contains the rootfs, the FAT16 parition is normal file storage for symbian (it works perfect in phone) and swap is only for linux when it is running on phone. I would like to access the FAT16 partition using my external usb card reader to copy some music on it in windows 2000. But it seems windows is not able to assign a drive letter to the FAT16 partiton. It only sees the EXT2 (first) partition and assigns drive letter to that one. I tried various disk management softwares to assign a drive letter to FAT16 partition so i can use it but the operation always failed. I do not want to copy files to the card while it is in the phone using the DCA-540 cable because it is painfully slow, the usb reader i got is many many times faster. Any help would be great. Thank you very much
Thank you!! Now i have finally accessed the FAT16 partition using windows :)) The whole trick is to fool windows that your SD/MMC card is actually a fixed disk drive. Then it allows you to assign drive letters to any partition via control panel/administrative tools/storage. Now i have two disk letters K and L, K is FAT16 (readable by win) and L is EXT2. site http://www.1src.com/forums/showthre... describes this perfectly. Thanks again :)
