I've been wondering why I couldn't boot from the USB key without first removing the internal HD..<br /><br />I'm wondering though how I can access the System2 and Storage2 partitions from Windows; usually I use Windows Explorer on a Win7 laptop to access \\192.168.1.4\Media\Storage so that I can get at the debug log, installed skins etc in the .xbmc folder. However when booting with the external USB, I cannot get at the Storage2 or System2 folders via Samba. I can only see the original System and Storage folders on the internal disc. Any ideas?
