OSF command Line option to mount OS image

[ashishucr]

I am trying to load a dat file (windows OS image, partition 23 for acpi, 28 for Main os) using command prompt but its not working

osfmount -a -m E: -o hd,rw -t file -f "C:\OSFMount\MMC_FLASHMEM1.dat"

I dont find a way to give partition #, the command mount a E drive, which ask to format. I am expecting a driver with either ACPI or Main OS content. I also tried by renaming to .img.


I can do the the same using GUI but not through the cmd line. What is wrong with my command. Please help

You can specify the partition with the '-v n' option where n is the 1-based partition number.

Currently, only 8 partitions are supported but this will be fixed in the next release.

But even with partition 1, it says Format Drive? instead of showing the content on the mounted drive?

I tried with http://www.passmark.com/ftp/osfmount_x64_v1.5.1016a.exe, which supports 256 partitions. but even with this command line didn't work:

I installed this version and here is my finding:

With GUI:
Choosing the
Source->Image File
Image File-> MMC_FLASHMEM1.dat (GUI recognized it as RAW Image)
Ask for choose Partition, I select 23
GUI recognizes the partition as size 16384 offset 167936 (both in blocks)
I chose driver letter E: and HDD and unchecked the read only

Result: It successfully mount the content on E:\ driver (I can see ACPI folder etc, similarly with Partiotion 28, I can see all the mainOS folders)

With Command Line:
OSFMount -a -m E: -v 23 -o rw,hd -t file -f MMC_FLASHMEM1.dat

It mount E: with No content and Ask a prompt "You need to format the disk"



Tried to give the size and offset along with the -v 23 option:
OSFMount -a -t file -v 23 -o rw,hd -f .\MMC_FLASHMEM1.dat -s 16384 -b 167936 -m e:


it says "Error: Partition table not found."


Why it works with GUI and not with CMD Line, Am I giving wrong command line parameters? Can you suggest the correct one.

With Command Line:
OSFMount -a -m E: -v 23 -o rw,hd -t file -f MMC_FLASHMEM1.dat

It mount E: with No content and Ask a prompt "You need to format the disk"

The "-v" option is 1-based, so you will need to specify "-v 24" for the partition labeled as "partition 23" in the GUI.
