Hi. It is a noob question, so please be patient.

Ive read you've made a fatx driver and you are using it for the
development on the xbox.

Now, i'd like to know if this fatx driver can be used to access an
unlocked fatx HD connected to a i386 machine that is booting the reactOS
live CD.

Am i dreaming? Or can this be done?

I just want to know if i could recover my multimedia files from the F
partition using my PC some day.

Yes it can be. Our vfatfs.sys has been tested in Windows before so it should work if you wanted to
do it now. Installing our driver on Windows would be a bit of a pain because you would need to
manually add the service and tell Windows to use it to mount that drive but I know some people
have tested the driver before under Win2k.

Thanks
