Re: problems in USB Booting in Feature Build 2007

Try the latest build posted yesterday to the connect site. The steps to add usb boot now simply require adding the usb boot component and that's all.

It also has a debug version of ntdetect in the valueadd folder. Rename usbntd.chk to ntdetect.com. Among other things this will also detect a common bios bug that does not report some usb devices as HDDs and aren't therefore supported (the common symptom of that is a bugcheck 7B as well). This would then be an indication you might want to try a board with a better bios.

I ran into the same thing. I wouldn't follow the steps that are proposed in the BLOG or in the documentation. If you remove the USB chipset driver there is nothing to access the USB port. Keep all the USB components in the image and just at the USB Boot 2.0 component.

The BIOS on the board needs to support USB 2.0 boot and possibly it might need to support USB HDD emulation. USB HDD emulation depends on the BIOS.

Hi,

I tried the USB Booting feature from the Feature build 2007. I followed
the steps given in the msdn embedded blog. But before the even the FBA
start I hit the blue screen with 0x7B error :-( immediately after the
windows xp logo screen.

I tried searching but didn't get any solution. If somebody has found a
way to fix this kindly let me know.

I am using a AMD Geode Nx series processor. My configuration has a AMD
K7 processor component. Is this a problem? should I use a ACPI
multiprocessor component?

Thanks in Advance

AGR
