a different machine)
There were 3 errors:

Here is what is going on. I am testing the capabilities of EWF/HORM
with a hard drive before I spend money on a CF card. I am using XPe SP2
with FP2007.

After getting the target information and importing it into Target
Designer, I added the bare minimum components to have a functional XPe
GUI Desktop.

Deploying the image is done using the Windows PE environment to mount a
network share and install the image using the command sdimgr
z:\blah.sdi /writedisk:0 /yes

Tested that, worked fine. No problems with FBA entering a reboot loop.

I add in the EWF components so that I can test EWF functionality. FBA
goes through its steps normally and reboots as it should. When the
system boots back up XP Splash Shows up, then the Reset Setup Flag
shows, then reboot. This continues indefinitely.

The only difference between my known good configuration and is the
change from NT Loader to the EWF NT Loader and the inclusion of the
other EWF Components.
