Re: NtCreateFile and STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND (0x0000003A)

Thanks for the pointer.  I had already read many of the
xbeboot files, but reading further, I tried one last thing.
Instead of using

RtlInitAnsiString(&filename, "\\??\\C:\\BLAH.TXT");

I tried using:

RtlInitAnsiString(&filename, "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition2\\BLAH.TXT");

and it worked perfectly.  The xbeboot doco (and many other
references on the net) allege that they are functionally
equivalent, but for some reason, I need the fully qualified
version.  Hmm... no matter.  For what I need at the moment,
that is more than enough.  Thanks again for your support.
