Alexander,
If you read through the posts between KM and myself, there were some issues
with booting from CD-ROM in the earlier releases. Although my steps in the
book worked for me on the target systems that I was using; others were
having some problems. The EWFMGR c: -enable step was something that came out
of the many discusion in the NG. KM mentioned cleaning out some registry
keys. You might want to give that a try as well.
Feature Pack 2007 (FP2007) is the latest release of Windows XPe. It is an
add-on to SP2. I have been working on a project that requires XPe to boot
from CD-ROM and FP2007 seems to be working okay.

Hello Sean,
many thanks for your prompt response. I'm very happy to communicate
directly with the author of the book which is the basis of all my XPe
efforts.
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. I use XP embedded SP1 but am preparing for using SP2 in the hope
that my problems are solved then. I don' t know what FP2007 is. From
another answer I got the info that's is the "Feature Pack 2007". I
never heard about that. Is that's still newer than SP2? And where can
I get it? And is this compatible also with SP1 or only with SP2?
2. Yes, the rest of the drive is unpartitioned.
3. Yes, EWF is set to NOT run on start (Start EWF Enable is not
checked)
4. This I have not made because it is not in your book, but I will try
it. Is this step also necessary for SP1?
5. Yes, I used the HD2ISO utilty to create the ISO image.
Regards,
Alexander

1. Are you using FP2007? There have been some improvements.
2. With the two partitions on the disk, I assume the rest of the drive is
left unpartioned. Is this Correct?
3. Is EWF set to NOT run on start?
4. One extra step that has changed the instructions from SP1 to SP2 to
FP2007, is the need to run EWFMGR c: -enable before Etrpep -all.
5. Are you using the HD2ISO utility to create teh ISO images?
When the image reboots after etprep, the image on the drive will almost
always BOSD. there is nothing that can be done to the final image. Just
create the final ISO.
Why Taskmanager Shell is behaving differently that Command shell is a bit
of
a mistery. I just went through the steps for a customer recently and
Command
Shell worked just fine.

Hello,
I've tried to boot a XP Embedded image from CD-ROM like described in
Chapter 11 of the XP Embedded Advanced book from Sean D. Liming. My
target is the Pentium based VMEBus Single Board Computer VR9 from SBS,
the HD is a 6 GB Microdrive from Hitachi, my drive is the DVD-R/-RW
drive SD-R6112 from Toshiba. Because there is no possiblity to connect
further IDE devices to that board, I've connected the driver via an
adapter to an USB port of the target board.
The image has been generated by first importing the Target Analyzer
informations about my target board and then adding the necessary EWF
and El Torito components and the Command Shell like described in the
book.
The first problem I have encountered is that after having booted the
image from disk with the Pre-FBA El Torito Disk in the drive ewfmgr
reported "Unable to find an Ewf volume" and ewfmgr c: reported "Failed
getting protected volume configuration with error 1" also the contents
of fbalog.txt showed that the EWF volume had been created. Diskpart
also found the 32 KB EWF volume after the two primary partitions I had
created on the disk (C: 160 MB, D: 900 MB). Furthermore the El Torito
disk had not been found.
I've solved this problem by replacing the Command Shell component by
the Task Manager Shell like in the EWF example in Chapter 10 of the
book from Sean Liming. Now my el torito disk had been found and ewfmgr
and ewfmgr c: yielded the expected outputs like described in the book.
In the explorer the following three partitions were visible:
C: 160 MB
D: 899 MB
F: 160 MB
E is the DVD drive. I assume that F is the El Torito drive generated
by the El Torito driver.
But now if I call etprep -all I get the following messages:
Deleted EWF partitions = 1
Start value for Redbook/IMAPI services has been reset to zero.
Failed to swap El Torito disk drive letter. Error = 0x1.
After that the system automatically reboots which ends with a BSOD
with the following outputs:
STOP: c000007b {Bad Image}
The application or DLL \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\shsvcs.dll is not a
valid windows image. Please check this against your installation
diskette.
Every reboot brings this Blue Screen again.
So my two questions are: Why I need the Task Manager Shell to let the
El Torito Disk found and let ewfmgr find the EWF volume and why the
swapping of the disk drive letters get failed (I assume that the Blue
Screen is a consequence of this). I've read in a message on this topic
that USB drives will not function. Is this really true?
Who can help me? Any hint will be appreciated.
