Getting the Windows drivers

We cannot distribute the Windows drivers because these files are distributed under a Microsoft license. Then you have to get these files yourself from the Windows system partition first. You have to copy these files inside the linux system:

• step-01: Mount the Windows system partition
  Here is an example about how to mount the Windows-XP partition, supposed to be /dev/hda1:

   # mkdir /mnt/win
   # mount -o ro -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
  

• step-02: Copy the drivers files
  Windows is supposed to be installed in C:/WINDOWS. Sometimes, the user can choose another directory, such as C:/WINNT.

   # cp /mnt/win/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/ntfs.sys /var/lib/captive
   # cp /mnt/win/WINDOWS/system32/ntoskrnl.exe /var/lib/captive
  

  If a file or a directory does not exists, try to change the Case ("System32" instead of "system32" for example). You can find these files on an Windows NT4 or Windows 2000 system, but only Windows XP files will work with Captive Ntfs.

• step-03: Umount the Windows partition
  

   # cd / ; umount /mnt/win
