VHD on ExpressCard 1 Year ago Karma: 0
Dear everybody,

my idea is to have a VHD file on a FAT32-formatted ExpressCard SSD. For this SSD to be recognized by GRUB (and therefore by VBoot I think), Grub must be installed with the --disk_module=ata parameter.

So my question is: Is this (ATA-mode) supported? Will I be able to boot a Windows 7 VHD from an ExpressCard SSD with VBoot this way?

Thanks and best regards,

we haven't tested this scenario. is this hard disk can be accessed as something like (hd0,1)? you can try to boot using grub, and then run "ls (hd0,1)/" commands after entering GRUB2 command mode.

One problem might be the FAT32 format, FAT32's largest file size is 4G, and a vhd file can be easily larger than that, so try to use NTFS format.
