Re: Unable to boot from a XPe NTFS CF

I was successfully able to get an XPe Image running with my C++ application.
I need to install supporting software, and it seems not to want to install
PowerPointViewer2007. Also, I will need Window Media Player 11 too. I
believe this one is not being installed because I'm using an evalutation copy
and the installation is doing a OS verification. Right now, I'm glad to get
pass building an CF XPe image.

Thanks,
Brian.

Just be aware that TAP on WinPE doesn't gather everything from the system.

Thanks,
I understand the problem now. I was using TA. I just got the full
evaluation kit in the mail. I will try using WinPE and TAP. I do
understand
from your site that XP Pro would be better.
Thanks,

This is fixable. Take a look at this article:

Well, I tried the simple formating the CF with DOS and than ran
bootprep.
I
created the image to FAT and copied it to the CF ( simple copy). I
placed
it
into the ebox and I got the blue screen of death. " A problem has
been
detected and windows has been shut down to prevent dmage to your
computer"....

Thanks for trying to help
Brian.

ufdprep.exe is only for USB flash keys. For CF cards, you should
format
with
DOS and then run bootprep.exe to change the boot sector from DOS to
NT.

If you want an NTFS, you will need to format the card under Windows
XP
pro
using a IDE to CF adapater. A few can be found here:
http://www.seanliming.com/flashhelp.html. This assumes that the
card
is
ID'd
as fixed and not removable.

I have an ebox 3000 series mini-PC with an external CF IDE slot.
It
boots
up
fine with a CF formated with MS-DOS 6.22. That is how I got my
TA.exe
file.
Once I built the XPe image, I tested it on my development
station,
and
it
works fine. The only difference was in settings of the target
hardware.

I used a simple copy of the image to the CF, no good. Everybody
tells
me
this is all I have to do. It sure isn't working for me.

I tried using the ufdprep.exe software provided by Microsoft, and
then
copy
the image to the CF, no good. This however gave me the blue halt
screen.
I
tried using the SDI2HD technique, and the image seems to
successfully
be
installed. At least, I can seem them. I tried checking the
parition
after
the SDI2HD to make sure it was a NTFS partition and active. It
was.
This
technique just gave me a blinking cursor. So far, nothing I have
done
seems
to work. Someone suggested checking the BOIS for changing a few
fields.
However, the fields he suggested was not associated with the
ebox.

For fun, I even tried building an image in FAT and FAT32. No
good.
I
even
tried using Fdisk /MBA to try fixing the partition, as well as
using
Partition Magic 8.0 tools

I'm ready for any new ideas. This is the only thing stopping
from
finishing
this project.

Any suggestions??????????????
