Sorry I have no idea at all except what is the output of
running the
Linux "file" command on the Windows binaries?
I only have 32-bit Windows so have no idea what might be
displayed on
the 64-bit versions... But for example running
"file" on OpenSUSE
10.2 against the ntfs.sys from Windows XP SP2 gives me:
ntfs.sys: MS-DOS executable PE for MS Windows (native)
Intel 80386
32-bit
So if you are very lucky file will tell you something like
"Windows
PE executable x86_64 architecture" and "Windows PE
executable ia64
architecture" or something...
Best regards,
Anton
