Unable to build working reuntime XPe

I just downloaded XPe studio. So far I have been unable to build even one
working runtime!

I have followed the video examples on the website and my builds either bet
the blue sceen of death or hand in an endless cycle of FirstBoot.

The only thing I am doing different is importing a devices.pmq of my system
(tap).

What in the world do I need to do to make usable runtimes?

Thanks,

Dan,

Reboots:

What BSOD stop errors do you see?

Dan,

Can you give us more info on the BSOD(s) you saw?
It may appear to be easier to fix those than trying to follow some tutorials.

Yes, I set the settings for my boot drive; J: ans set the multiboot correctly.

Yes, it is a 7B error...

I rebuilt. With no intentional changes. No I get "missing hal.dll"

Dan,

Verify that you've got proper ARC path in your boot.ini on target.
Also make sure the ARC path points to the right name of the Windows directory you built image for.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Embedded" /FASTDETECT
On primary ide channel, slave, partition 2 of that that drive.. Yes, the
directory names are correct...

Dan,

The ARC path seems right.
You can try changing disk and rdisk numbers to see if it makes any difference.
But better try disconnecting the primary master driver and leave only your XPe disk (make the partition active and bootable, place
ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini under root of the partition).

Make sure on the XPe partition you have a directory structure like:
\Documents and Settings
\Program files
\Windows

(not something like DriveX\...)

PS. Hope we are discussing the only boot.ini from the system partition.

Dan,

You've been already given the right links to the 7B tip page.
Just make sure you've got all the critical to boot drivers in your configuration. If you are not sure, add all three the Disk drive
components.
