Using Linux to determine version of Windows
This is an odd question and I didn't really know what category it fits. I just installed Ubuntu 12.10. During the installation process, the screen informed me that Windows 7 was installed in a particular partition.
I'm just wondering how this was accomplished. Using 'fdisk -l' will indicate NTFS partitions but does not give specifics of the Windows version. |

The installer probably mounts the NTFS partition that is marked bootable and uses heuristics to determine the version of Windows is installed.
