Re: Two XPE partitions in one hard disk.



So if I understand what you are trying to do:

You want to be able to Boot with minlogon to run the actual program that
you're designing, and then be able to reboot with a WinLogon configuration
to run administration and such activities on the same system?

If I have this correct, yes you can do this, and Yes you would need 2
Licenses. if you are shipping 2 different configured images, then you have
to have 2 Seperate Licenses. if you were shipping an image, and then have a
recovery image, you would be OK, but you could not boot to that recovery
image.

This is one way to tackle what you are doing, but I would say that if
you are needing to manage your system and optimize boot time, I would look
at tuning your device with a custom shell, and maybe have some security
features built into your app, that can call windows API's for management.
This will save you time, and definately a lot of configuration headaches. I
personally have seen with WinLogon Configurations boot times in the ~10-15
Second range. Also maybe explore full WinLogon, with something like HORM, so
that you can have an "instant on" feel to the device.

HTH,
