Re: Formating IDE-Flash-HDD

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Matthias -
WinPE and WinXP use the same diskpart/format.exe. (Assuming you're
using WinPE from booting the XPe Disk 1) Did you mark the partition as
active with diskpart?

Hello,
I have a problem with the format off WinXP Pro.

I plugged the Flash-IDE to a USB controller and mount it with Windows
XP Professional.
Now I can use diskpart and format like I use it with WinPE.

But when I boot this disk (without usb controller) on my TD it hangs
during "Verifying DMI Pool Data" without any other messages.

Did WinXP Pro format the USB-HDD devices not like WinPE or a usual
IDE-HDD?

Kind regards
Matthias
