Hi there,
Wonder if anyone tried mounting an SD card as c:\windows folder before?
If this can be done, it would allow a low storage device like say one with non-expandable 32gb emmc to really have its space expanded with the SD card.
Question is when the mounting is done. Which part of windows need to be loaded already for mounting to take place. Those part that needs to be loaded has to be in the real C: drive c:\windows while the rest of the can be in the mounted SD card.
This works in linux. E.g. in Ubuntu, every folder can be mounted from any device/partition via its blockid. So a typical Ubuntu installation may have root dir / mounted from one partition while /home is mounted from another partition. Advantage is that a clean wipe or reinstall of root never touches the home dir.
Will this work for c:\windows?
Or at least some system or user folders that uses tons of space?
