Hi,
I just saw a posting on FreshMeat. A guy was unable to boot
windows since converting his boot partition to being a
dynamic disk (he was actually using lilo, but not certain
grub would work either).
In case you're not familiar, the logical disk manager (LDM)
in windows 2000 & XP, uses dynamic disks to support stripes,
mirrors, RAID, etc. It's actually a new partitioning scheme
where all the information is now on disk, rather than in the
registry.
I've written an LDM driver for Linux (in late 2.4), so I
understand dynamic disks fairly well.
What information do you need to boot windows from a dynamic
disk? Will a mounted partition be enough? Do you need to
know where, on disk, various things are? (Excuse my ignorance
of grub).
If you let me know what you need to know, I can write you some
code to find it.
Cheers,
