Hello,

I am sure this is a simple question, and have looked on this forum but can't seem to find the answer.

I am using DSL embedded on my usb pen drive (i am not booting from it, just running it from within windows). is it possible to then access my windows data through DSL?

If so, how?

Thanks for any help.

Trivial answer: No. (Because QEMU which provides a virtual-machine in which DSL executes denies direct access to the hardware on which it is being hosted.)

More complex answer: Yes. Expose the Windows data you want to use as a Windows Share, then use smbclient from DSL to mount that share in DSL.
