I have a strange issue.
I have an XPe image running on a CF card with EWF. I have 9 instances

Intermittently I get this error message on boot.

Is it possible this is because the CF card is wearing away? What are
the signs of a dying CF card?

Thanks

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is missing or corrupt

EWF is enabled.
The fix is to reboot the system repeatedly. At some point, it manages
to continue through the boot process successfully.
How is this possible? It can't be that the image is actually corrupt.
A few reboots fixes it. The image is read only with successful boots
after enabling read only.

I am using evaluation design tools, if that matters.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
