Mark,
I am not sure why it is not booting for you. Maybe your disk MBR gets
corrupted? (try fdisk /mbr command)
Have you been able to boot an OS off the hard drive? (e.g., DOS? or XP
Pro?). As far as I understood, you rebooted in to DOS off a floppy, right?
Does you target device have a CD-ROM? If it does, boot in WinPE (XPe/SP1
CD1) and copy your XPe image using xcopy (will support long file names).
Then reboot and see if FBA runs.
If you still want to use sdi approach (for whatever reasons) you may use SDI
Mgr (with WINPE) to deploy your sdi file. You may need to use a sdi file
with PART blob only to deploy on the pre-partitioned target disk.
