El Torito Boot CD - Missing Operating System

All,

I could use some help creating an El Torito boot CD with Windows XP
Embedded.

I have read the tutorials on MSDN and adpated them as best I can to our
environment.

Here are the steps I have taken so far:

Created an XPE OS in Target Designer, including EWF, Explorer Shell, El
Torito Components and all dependencies

Placed the OS on a hard drive, with 1 partition, formated to FAT32 and
placed the hard drive in the target device and let FBA run.

FBA runs - the OS comes up great. I then run ETPREP /all

The target system shuts down and before it reboots - I disconnect it,
remove the hard drive and place the hard drive in my development PC.
(it shows up as the F: drive)

Next I run HD2ISO. The hard drive in question is Physical Drive 0
Select partition 1
Set the ISO image path
Advanced Options
Select 74-Minute CD
Specify Disk Signature to match the disk signature in Target Designer
El Torito component (in HEX)
(0x4F544C45)
Change the Volume Name to BOOTTEST
and select partition 1 to boot

I then create the ISO Image.

I burn the ISO Image to a CD ROM using NERO Burning ROM

The CD of course shows no files in Windows Explorer (expected)

I boot the target device from the CD and the BIOS boot screen says:

Boot from CD:
1. HD System Type-(06)
Missing Operating System


Can anyone suggest what steps are going wrong here?

THANKS!
