The following plain disk config ========================= DRIVETYPE ide CYLINDERS 13410 HEADS 15 SECTORS 63 # Partition type: MBR ACCESS "/home/truro1/peterho/vmware/hda/wd0.mbr" 0 63 # Partition type: Win95 FAT32 ACCESS "/dev/rwd0s1" 63 4096512 # Partition type: Win95 FAT32 ACCESS "/dev/rwd0s5" 4096575 4289292 # Partition type: Win95 FAT32 ACCESS "/dev/rwd0s6" 8385867 4273227 # Partition type: Padding RDONLY "/dev/null" 12659094 13356 ========================== Only links in the first partition into the device chain in the VM (ie. windows only sees the first partition).
