Dear Slobodan,

Thanks for your help.

I ran XPe from my harddisk. Before creating the RAMDisk image, I
deleted the two registry entries HKLM\System\Setup and
HKLM\System\MountedDevices. Now I created a Remote Boot image out of
it.

I placed that harddisk in my Target system and booted from the Remote
boot image. Now the Harddisk gets detected as a D:\ Drive. Now i am
able to format it.

The problem occurs when I place my ATA Flash Disk in the IDE Slot
instead of my Harddisk.

This ATA Flash Disk is not getting detected.

What is the reason behind this?

Please help me.

With Regards,
Ranga.
