Running FBA on a removable USB stick

Hi all,

I succeed with running FBA from Windows Embedded SP1
on a removable USB stick.

It is normal impossible, but I set the Hitachi Microdrive Filter on it
before

FBA starts and also the entries in inf folder for USB* and copied the file
cfadisk.sys to Windows\system32 on that USB stick and cfadisk.inf to the
inf folder.

The problem for me was, to build a cfadisk.reg, and install it in the
registry of the USB stick, so that the USB stick is shown at once as
HARDDISK for FBA.

Here is my cfadisk.reg for a Siemens-Fuji USB stick. I make this by hand..
