Multiple partitions in USB HDD?

**Romonster** · 06-16-2011,12:56 AM

I have three partitions in my USB HDD.
The first one is FAT32 used for gaming(OPL &Ps2ESDL), the second is also FAT32 with a portable linux distro and the third is NTFS formatted.

I want SMS Player to play files from the second partition(linux) but it only detects the first one.

How do I get it to detect second partition? I'm using the latest version of SMS.

thanks.

Afaik,... SMS supports multiple USB-Devices, but only shows the first partition which is found on a device and this partition must be FAT32-Formatted...
So, there's nothing you can do except using the first partition.

someone should make an external hdd with like 5 or 6 light up preset buttons on the outside of the case that you can press and have 1 stay lit, to select it as the primary partition
like if you have say 4 partitions ,you could press preset 3 and the number 3 preset button would light up and stay lit meaning that the 3rd partition would be detected as the primary partition
then all you would need to do to change the 1st partition would be to press a preset button ,instead of using a program like partition magic to manage them

Good idea and it should be quite possible!
