Re: Installing an IMage using a bootable cd

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

THanks Mr.Liming. Did the hard drive. I created a second partition on my HD
after resizing it. I did not get a successful install until I made my second
partition active.

After that I was able to get into FBA. From that point My system suffered an
infinite reboot loop. I suspect this was because IN my target designer I set
the Boot to E: instead of C: The problem has since been fixed just pending a
recreation of the image to boot from C:

If the boot settings in the Device>settings into E: instead of C: is not the
cause of the infinite reboot, what else could it be? I never got the blue
screen so it's not a driver issue.

Concerning the image I make and run on a Hard drive. The image I want to
create eventually and transfer onto a cd needs to run a totally different
hardware set-up. The one I am putting into my second partition runs similar
hardware set up to my dev system so I see no issues once it is successfully
installed. You said I had to run the image onto a hard drive then let the HD2
tool do it's thing. Is there anything I need to do in terms of preparation to
ensure that the image I transfer will have the necessary drivers or etc. to
work seamlessly?

Thanks

You have to run the image on a hard drive first and capture with hd2ISO
utility. There are instructions in the help files as well as my books that
discuss how to do this.

CD Method? Are you talking about CD boot?

Ok, thanks for the reply.

I want to use the CD method. How do I do that properly? What settings
do I
need to take into account? How do I prepare both boxes? How do I get
the
other computer to boot up to a point where it will install the image in
the
cd drive? How do I get XPe onto the OS free box uing the CD Method?

Thanks

Thereare several ways to deploy a XPe image to a remtoe target:

1. WinPE / SDI Tools that come with XPe
2. Remote Recover - Microsoft recently purchased Winternals so we
don't
know
the future of this tool, but it is the best.
3. Hard drive swap.
4. FP2007 - possible to use a USB solution if target support USB 2,0
boot

I have created an Image and want to install that image onto a system
not
connected to my development system and has no preloaded OS.

I chose to burn the image onto a cd. I have yet to get a successful
execution.

I tried using the hd2iso.exe tool to prepare an iso image but I
could
never
figure out what to type in for set physical drive, select partiiton,
and
set
image path. I keep getting erors. I set phsy drive to C partition to
1
and
image path to C:\windows embedded image. Is there something I'm
missing?

Is there someting I'm Missing in Target designer?

i'm at a dead end at the moment. would appreciate fresh ideas.

Thanks
