Hi list,
don't know, if this question has been asked on this list and if this is
the correct list for this question. I haven't found any results using
google etc.
The question is: is it possible to trigger the freedos kernel to reread
the partition table and reassign drive letters from within a running
freedos.
The background for this question is in short: I'm developing a
network-based installation routine to remotely install XP workstations
from scatch. The routine should automatically partition the harddisk of
a clean or a crashed system, restore the OS-image to a partition on the
harddisk and copy some configuration files to the newly created and
restored partition. For now, the workstation needs to be rebootet three
times:
- after partitioning the harddisk using fdisk,
- after restoring the image to disk and
- after copying the configuration files.
I would like to do it all in a single step. So, is there a ioctl-call to
the kernel, similar to linux, that lets me reread the partition table
and that reassigns the DOS drive letters?
Thanks in advance...
