Re: Bootable CD problem

They finally looked into it. Are you using a uDOC or just an off the shelf
USB flash drive?

What documentation are you refering too?

There have been some attempts to create an XPe Bootable CD ROM for a USB
CD-ROM drive. All the documentation to date has been for XPe IDE CD-ROM
boot. XPE USB CD-ROM boot is a new endevor because FP2007 has USB Boot
2.0
support. The new USB Boot 2.0 supports booting from USB flash disks. I am
not sure if the XPe team tested the support for USB CD-ROMs.

I have two problems
1/ format 650MB primary partition with FAT32, set active using dispart
in
WinPE2. After I fill this partition with pre-FBA image, it does not
boot.
I
have to use bootprep /dC to config. It then boots and I want to know
what
went wrong here since your doc said " FAT32 do not need bootprep."
2/ I put a pre-FBA CD on the USB CD (This is the only CD driver in my
tablet). I created 2 primary partitions 650MB each of the 80GB HD, one
C:
for
CD and one D: for a normal hard drive XPe image. I set boot.ini to boot
to
D:
to prepare pre-FBA CD from C:. Later, I boot into C: to prepare the
final
image. In my case, I set Boot CD first.
I boot the system into C: to run FBA with a pre-FBA 700MB CD in the USB
CD
Driver.
For the first time the image runs FBA, reboot and later it comes back
says
"
Missing operating system"
What did I do wrong? set HD boot first and USB-CD later?

My prepare image has no problem with El Torito support, USB 2 boot
ets...I
also disable start option in EWF...

Your document messes up my mind.
Hope you, experts, help me to build a successful XPe bootable CD.

I am using Feature Pack 2007, my sytem is a tablet with one HD
Thanks,
