Re: Problems with Booting XPe from CD-ROM

Alexander,


Concerning the Pre-FBA El Torito CD: I always had the CD in the drive
as well during the FBA process as during "etprep -all". I also had not
changed the El Torito signature value. But I must confess that the
image on the CD not always was exactly the same image then that on the
disk. I thought that it was only necessary to have a CD with a ISO9660/
El Torito image on it in the drive during the FBA process to let the
PnP El Torito driver get started and that the exact image was not
relevant So I didn't burn a new CD every time I changed the image for
the next trial to not waste my blank CDs (I get no RW CDs in my
company). If it is absolute necessary for the CD to have always the
exact image as is on the disk for the procedure to succeed then I
think I must organize RW CDs to go further on!

You can have any CD in the drive during FBA with El-Torito signature on it.
No reason to refresh the image (content) on that CD.

Regards,
KM
