I am not familiar with embedded XP, but this matches a
problem I have run into using Sysprep
(
http://support.microsoft.com/support...cles/Q257/8/13
..ASP). NT based OSes are picky about the disk controller
the OS boots from. You may have to track down an entry to
add to the [SysprepMassStorage] section of Sysprep.inf and
run Sysprep (if you can do this to Embedded XP). If not,
then perhaps installing and configuring the OS on the
flash disk instead of the hard drive?
