Figure everything out yourself. That's where the point about who wrote the
BSP comes up. If you're trying to just use the standard CEPC board support
package, there is no way to use the plain vanilla BIOS that your PC has on
it to do what you're talking about without more work.
1. You could use LOADCEPC, which is a DOS program, to load your nk.bin into
RAM on the system from any mounted disk device (but you need a DOS license
for each device, if you do that).
2. You could contact one of the Windows Embedded Partners listed on the
Microsoft site at www.microsoft.com/embedded and ask them to help you as
consultants to get things working the way you need.
3. You could blow off this board vendor and get your boards from someone who
knows about Windows CE and has what you need.
4. Finally, of course, you could do it yourself, which will take you several
months, no doubt.

I contacted support at B&R(my board OEM), and they do not support Windows
CE
6.0 at this time. Is there any other way I can get CE 6.0 on this machine?

Paul may have written too much, so I will keep this simple.
You need to contact the board OEM to find out how to use their board.

I had done a bit more reading, and I didn't even have a bootloader on my
flash drive. I just had NK.bin, and START.dat. So I need to have a boot
loader on my flash drive to get the drive to boot. I have done some
reading
up on bootloaders for CE, and I am confused as to which I should use, I
am
thinking eboot would be the one. How do I make the flash card have an
MBR
with eboot in it, I haven't been able to find anything on that. Thanks

That would be an issue which you should talk to the device vendor/BSP
vendor
about, I would think. The bootloader component, developed by the same
people who built the board support package (BSP), for the hardware
determines how you can load a new OS into the system. It also, of
course,
if it is capable of reading a flash card to get that image, determines
what
the correct format for the flash card is. It might easily be that the
bootloader doesn't support FAT32, for example, and that your card,
which
might be large 1GB or larger, let's say, is formatted, when you do
that
from
Windows XP, with FAT32. All we can do is give you some things that
might
be
wrong, though. The people who wrote the bootloader would have to tell
you
what's right.

I have been attempting to get Windows CE 6.0 running on a solid state
PC(x86). I have read everything I could find, and still could not
find
anything to resolve this issue. The machine I am trying to load my
Windows
CE
6.0 Image to doesn't connect to the internet, and it's on the other
side
of
the building(too far to run cables to). So, my only option is to use
a
flash
card. I am wondering if there are any resources out there concerning
this
topic, I have found very, very little. I have been manually copying
my
CE
Image(nk.bin) to the flash card, and then putting the card in the
solid
state
pc. When the pc begins to load, an error reads "Invalid Disk."
Does anyone have any information on this issue? Thanks!
