I have created an SDI image for a PC. After booting the PC from a bootable CDROM, I dump the image with SDI2HD.
On the reboot, the PS does not even see a bootable device to boot from (I verified the BIOS and it should boot from C). The Target Device Settings when builiding the image refer to C:.
What is missing really? It is almost as if the PC could not see the C drive or information on how to boot.

Any idea ?
