Some work that makes eComStation possible is done by volunteers. Other things are possible because people and companies buy licenses of eComstation, software subscription etc. Thats how I (Roderick) and other people can work on eComStation.
Some of this research has been done in the last 2 weeks. We need your feedback in the eComStation bug tracker to see if it works. To access the bugtracker you need to login www.ecomstation.com and then goto the bugtracker. This stuff is not for the faint harted. If you don't know what your doing and get confused from reading these bugs then don't work on it :-) Hopefully these two items WILL be fixed in eComstation RC 7 so it will be just a matter of clicking some buttons!
Point 1: Some people who have been experimenting with eComStation and hard discs bigger then 512 GB have found some problems. Basicly if you wipe the LVM information AND the first sector of the hard disc with DFSEE and create all partitions on the drive with eCS. You can dual boot Windows XP and eCS. Even boot eCS from a drive bigger then 512 GB.
See eComStation bugnumber 2345 for details. Hopefully we can come up with a solution to make it work without having to wipe the hard discs. This is still in the research stages. But it has something to do with the CHS values.
Point 2 People installing eCS next to Vista may have found that you get a Vista winload.exe error. The solution is that you need to use DFSEE to collect the "NT disk signature" value. Do the install and THEN install the boot manager and eCS. Go BACK into dfsee and put back the "NT disk signature" value. This should fix the winload.exe error message. And you should be able to boot Vista via the eCS boot manager. Details can be found in bug 2354.
More feedback on your experience with Vista and eCS is also needed when it comes to drive layout. Read bug report 2355 for this.
Again the bugtraker is NOT intended to ask support questions if you don't understand something. I need people to provide feedback if it works yes or no.
Thanks for your feedback,
