Re: XPE on 2 drives with EWF

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

Joe,

Not all of them but some: http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/community/community/tips/xp/ramewf/default.aspx

I don't know if anyone has compiled the final list (it would be really hard to do since there are thousand components with all their
settings and not all of them are typically included in a image).


You can always add an Environment variable in TD or at runtime. It is stored in registry under :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment].

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of things to do to deploy XPe with the
OS on a CF drive protected with RegMode EWF (or a CD-ROM), Drive C, and the
second drive (HDD), Drive D that is unprotected. The idea is that ALL logs,
temporary files, page file, Document and Settings folders, Dr Watson crash
dumps, etc. are directed to the HDD for persistence.
The latest release FP2007 documents how to move the Document and Settings
folder to a different drive. What if anything else, needs to be done, for
example Event logs, WBEM logs etc?
There have been numerous messages and various solutions to specific
questions posted here over the years, but has anyone compiled a single
document that works?
I've been testing a number of things over the years, but I must admit that
its been ad hoc at best.

The second question is related to the list of Predefined System Environment
variables and other substitution variables. It is possible to "add" to this
list? For example, to change the location of the event logs to Drive D
rather than Drive C. The default path is
%SystemRoot%\system32\config\AppEvent.Evt. Where / how is %SystemRoot%
defined? Would be nice to change it to something like
%WindowsDRoot%\config\AppEvent.Evt.

Thanks,
Joe
