Booting from Image

I've created an image and xcopy'd it to an NTFS formatted
partition using the following command "xcopy *.*
c: /H /E". I cannot boot from it. I've done this before
but I'm not sure what I've forgotten.

Thanks
Tim

Tim,

You will need to give us more info on your issue. What error(s) you are getting? Is it BSOD? etc.

It would help to mention error that you see or state that you don't see.

Set partition as active.

Sorry. I'm seeing DISK BOOT FAILURE. PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM
DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

Thanks,
Tim

Like I sadi have you tried to set partition wiht ntldr as active from fdisk
or Disk Management.

If you are using dos for partitioning CF for instance make sure that you use
also bootprep.

your MBR is set to boot from DOS use bootprep to make the media MBR look
for ntldr.

XCOPY /c /q /s /k /r /h /v /y G:\%DirImage%\*.* %NomVolume%

Don't forget to mark partition active (see diskpart or Disk management)
