    Hello A.User,

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Excuse me but I'm rather newbie in WinCE so I have some more questions.

    Did you do theese steps?
    Map (with memorymap file function) the original .bin OS image file
    Parse it and extract data
    Program Flash record-by-record

    What library or functions did you use for program flash?
    Is bootpart library good for this work?

    During update I would like disable any other user operation and system activity
    How can I reach it?

    Thanks a lot!
