Add to the above,
I edited the boot.ini and gave binFile = nk.bin
Also gave BakBinFile = eboot.bin

But when I boot the HD, it gives the following message and hangs.

Windows CE BIOS Boot Loader
Windows CE BIOS Boot Loader Version 2.2 ( Built mar 2004 )

>From the source code I see that Both the above messages are welcome messages.
The next statement to be executed was to display Splash Screen.
Though in my case the splash screen was not displayed, It didnot give any
error message.
I could not follow through the details.

I previously used to get a splash screen on a VIA mini-ITX board with the
same nk.bin
Now I am not getting the splash screen also.

No error messages.
Can some one help me!!

thnx,
ryotson.
