Re: boot problem

R.Demandt,

No, I don't think you forgot any step to make the disk bootable.

I guess I am not understanding what error you are seeing. Do you know what OS level issues the error (nt loader, kernel, etc.?)?
Does it show up on a text mode screen or is there any GUI?

Try adding /SOS and /BOOTLOG switches to the ArcPath in boot.ini file on the tagret disk.

If you set non zero timeout in boot.ini, can you see the ntldr menu?

I formatted the 40GB disk as an NTFS partition, set it active and copied the
files from the build to the disk. Is there a step I forgot?

R.Demandt,

Sounds like you're having problems with your target storage.
Did you prepare, partition, format it? Did you make it bootable?

It happens before the FBA starts (so the log file, won't help). I get the
message:
"Write Error - press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart"

R.Demandt,

What exactly the error and at what boot phase you see it?
Also, you may want to take a look at \windows\fba\fbalog.txt log.

When first booting xpe (with fba). I keep getting a write error, and the
system won't boot. Does anyone know what causes this problem?????

Thanks for any response,
R.Demandt
