Hi,

I have the first drive on C, and second new dynamic drive
on E. Drive E was formated in NTFS, type simple, in
Administration Tool.

I followed the "How to" guide line to configure the
setting as followings:

- Boot Drive: C
- Windows folder: E:\windows
- Program file folder: E:\Program Files
- Documents and Setting: E:\Documents and Settings
- Boot ARC path: multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)

After I built the image, I copied all the files in
C:\Windows Embedded Images to E:\ and all the folder under
C:\Windows Embedded Images\DriveE to E:\.

Also, I added the following line to the boot.ini:
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Embedded" /fastdetect

I can't boot up the image. Is there anything I overlook?

>I can't boot up the image. Is there anything I overlook?
Yes at least two things.

It should be multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
Also E: is not guarantied drive letter, it could be, but
make sure.

Best regards,
Slobodan

Ignore the drive letters assigned by Windows in the safe build you're
referring to. You need to specify the drive letter as seen in Real Mode. If
this is the first partition of the second drive then you specify "D", not E.

Thanks every body for the tips. My problems are fixed.
Both Slobodan and Andy pointed out my problems. After I
changed the boot.ini to multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition
(1), Windows found the boot up files. However, it reset
itself every time installing components in the first
boot. The problem was on the drive letter for my second
drive. I changed to D:\... for the target image paths in
Target Designer and changed the drive letter of my second
hard drive to D: in Administrative Tool. The image booted
after all these changes.

Hope it can help.

Henry
