Re: XPE Won't boot from SATA drive

Jason,

Thanks for the response. Actually I have the drivers for the SATA
controller as part of the image. We have used drives attached this
controller in the image for months. The problem is that we now want to
boot from the SATA controller. I have checked the boot.ini of a machine
running XP Pro on the same controller/disk configuration and they are
identical. I have the BIOS of the machine configured to boot only from
this one SATA drive.

Thanks,
-JC
