    Dual boot (7&Linux), hibernation, unmount/mount HDD storage partition?


    I set up a netbook dual boot to Win 7 Starter or Lubuntu. It would be convenient to hibernate one OS when switching to the other. I made a partition on the hard drive for data storage and transfer between the two OS'. I need to unmount that partition before hibernating. That's easily done in Lubuntu but how do I unmount (and later remount) an HDD partition in Windows? Thanks!

    I'm working on the same thing.. the only thing i can think of would be to make a batch that first unmounts the drive.

    something along the lines of:

    Hibernate.bat
    Code:
    "C:\Program Files\Ext2Fsd\mount.exe" /umount X:
    timeout 1
    shutdown /h
    "C:\Program Files\Ext2Fsd\mount.exe" 0 3 X:
    Change X: for the drive letter.. Change 0 3 where 0=disk;3=partition number.
    You can find these in the Ext2 Volume Manager.

    I haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it will be remounted on boot..
    Or if it will even work..

    I also haven't figured out how to execute when the battery gets too low. :P



    Edit: seems to have worked.
