DSDT from within windows?

Hello All,

After taking a look at (and trying to fix) the broken DSDT for my Acer
TravelMate 382 laptop, I wondered if maybe Windows also allows OEMs to
over-ride the DSDT. Maybe the hardware guys only had limited time to
provide a hacked up version, and their driver writers provide a
patched one later.

I've tried some googling, but found no hits thus far. Anyone know if
it's possible to pull the active DSDT from a running Windows XP
session? If it's possible, I might be willing to put Windows back on
my laptop (which I'm proud to say is single-boot Linux) just to grab
it and see.

I doubt I'm the first one to think of this, so if there's info about
this being attempted before, let me know.

Thanks,
-Jing
