Joe,
>From your message I couldn't quite get whether you are able to plug the
drive in to a machine (with XP Pro, or XPe installed) as a second drive? If
you can, why not format it from there since you want NTFS on it.
Also, you don't need that 2nd drive to be bootable if you already have a
bootable disk in your target PC. Just set up boot.ini on the system drive
(1st bootable drive) to load OS from that 2nd drive.
I feel like we are going to get confused with the disk numbers you are
reffering to (1st, 2nd, etc.).

Building and Deploying a Run-Time Image", and it wasn't easy I'll tell ya.
The main problem is getting a development system to match the prescribed
system in the tutorial. I can't add a second hard drive on my main PC, but I
was "provided" a back-up system (a pentium II with a hard drive just barely
large enough to contain the system and studio files and a second hard drive)
for development!

development system. I obtained a *.pmq file for the "target" hardware (yet
another long story since the target PC won't boot the WinXP PE because of a
video card incompatability I think, so I used an old DOS 6.22 disk to boot
and run the TA.EXE file). I started a new project and built an image in the
same manner as the tutorial only using the target hardware *.pmq file and
copied it to the 2nd hard drive. I was hoping I would be able to remove the
2nd hard drive from the developement PC and put it in the target PC (to be
the 1st disk, I did set the settings in the project to recognise the HD as
C:\), but it didn't work. I presume because the 2nd hard drive isn't
bootable?

think that is the problem? I didn't see anyway to do it using the disk
management on the development PC. I can't use the WinXP PE (remember, the
target PC won't boot with it). I even tried just using the WindowsXP
installation disk to see if there are utilities in it I can use to make the
, but it won't boot either!
