I'm looking for an easy way to transfer my embedded xp app to my target
device. I was thinking a bootable cd could be used to format/copy the build
image to the target's harddrive. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? I've been trying to use Nero's make bootable CD but it requires
a MBR from a floppy. I tried using the XP startup floppy but it also seems
to copy the install programs and not just the boot loader.

Can anyone offer some insight please?

Thanks in advance,

Derek

Do you want to copy an app to the device after the run-time image has been
deployed? You can try swapping the hard drive out of the device and
plugging it into you development system. If you are looking to format /
configure your target system hard disk, you can boot WinPE on the target
device. WinPE is available on the first disk of the Windows XP embedded
media. More information on WinPE is available here:

If you want to create a Windows XPE bootable CD, you can follow the steps
provided here:

I was trying to use a CD to deploy the runtime generated from the XPe build
process. I was thinking that I would put the sld image and the sdi2hd.exe
programs on it to the target's hard disk. Thanks for the CDROM pointers. I
decided that using a bootable cdrom to transfer the build images is more
trouble then its worth. I've setup a HD on my development system that can
be swaped out with my target system. I've had some luck with this and some
problems. I'll start a new thread for the problems if I can't figure them
out.

Thanks for the help.
