ICS RC0 4.0.3 on ASUS EEE PC--> Dual boot, how to access to windows folders and files

[txipen]

Hi!!!

I just flashed ICS 4.0.3 into my ASUS EEE PC having a dual boot so
that I don´t lose windows xp.
it works great! you´ve made such a good job, so fluent and cool!

I tried to explore windows floders an files but i can´t. How should I
configure it?
Actually I have 160gb in this EEE PC but ICS has a 2GB of space.

Thanks

Hello, first u have to make a partition  for the android to take place. There are a lot of programs used for this, but i think you can do it with the programs allready in your pc. To make a partition you have to unmount your hard disk, so u cant do it while you are on your windows xp. I did it with  Ubuntu so  dont know how to do with windows 7. Search the web how to make a second partition with windows xp. I think you will find a soloution.

Hi.
I think I know what your asking but without knowing how your system is
installed I can only give you the basics.

Windows is normally installed on a HDD which is formatted in NTFS.
Now, if memory serves, Android cannot read NTFS partitions. If you
want to be able to access music/vids etc from both platforms then you
may have to make sure that the files are stored in a FAT32 partition
on the harddrive. This could be done in either of the following ways:

1)
Hard drive with 2 partitions
- XP on Fat32
- Android on whatever it installs on. Mine is Ext3

-or-
2)
Hard drive with 3 partitions
- XP on NTFS
- Second partition in FAT32 for shared files
- Android on third partition.


Unfortunatly you will have to remember that FAT32 has file size
limitations (nothing larger than 4gb). It is unfortunate that windows
cannot read anything other than FAT or NTFS.

Hope this helps

So, is there no way to mount ntfs partition? i've tried mounting mine,
but it says "no such device" even if my partition is showed by
"fdisk /dev/block/sda -l" ...
