Re: Newbie: can't boot

Francisco,

What exactly you are seeing there when it doesn't boot? Any error message?

It is possible that you didn't create the proper MBR on the flash disk when you partitioned it.

Hi, all

After strugling with Component Designer and Target Designer, I've come up
with a configuration with no errors. It includes NTFS, NTFS format, NT
Loader, First Boot Agent and several other components.

After the build process, directly to a "flash disk on module" IDE
partitioned in two drives, "D" and "E", partitioned and NTFS formated using
the disk management tool in a normal Win XP Pro.

But when I install the flash disk on the target, it doesn't boot at all.

Any hints?

Thanks
Francisco
