0x0000007B Error With El Torito CD

C

Craig

I've gone through the process of creating an El Torito CD including what I
think are all the steps:

Created the target with TA and included the EWF with RAM overlay and El
Torito stuff (EWF Enable = off)
Download to the target
Booted target with XPe CD #1
Used CD2ISO to make Pre FBA CD
Booted target from disk with Pre FBA CD installed
Ran FBA
Checked FBALOG for El Torito driver installation = OK
EWFMGR shows no EWF volume
EWFMGR C: shows EWF setup and disabled for C
etprep -all didn't find EWF volume (that's OK?) and did the flip
Restart and power off before rebooting
Booted with XPe CD
CD2ISO again
Created Post FBA El Torito CD

When I boot from the ET CD, the white bar shows up, followed by the XPe
splash screen and then BSOD with the 0x000000FB error.
I suspect that EWF is not enabled booting from the ET CD.

The target is set up with a primary active partition and the remainder as
unpartitioned space. I'm getting the "invalid file handle" error and
ewfdll is failing on the ConfigureEwf.

All of the QFEs have been installed.

Here's the dump from my FBALOG:

There is clearly a problem with ewf - the ewfopen should work fine (yours
returns bad handle), and ConfigureEwf() End should give a status of 0x0.
Did you leave unallocated space on the HDD?
The documentation recommends 8MB unallocated, but I found even 39MB wasn't
big enough for me, when I bumped it up to 2GB (pretty big bump, I admit),
then it worked fine. Also, no more than 3 partitions can exist on the HDD
(ewf will create another, temporary, partition, can only have 4 maximum).

I'm not much of an expert yet, still working thru this stuff myself (may
have a question tomorrow, if latest ideas don't work out today...), so
others may have better advice, but hopefully this gives you something to go
on.

Hi Craig,

Since you need RAM EWF, you can use info I have provided on www.xpefiles.com
you can configure RAM EWF without using extra partition for EWF.

It explains how to configure it in TD, and you wont have this problems.

Best regards,
Slobodan

You are missing one step.

You need to enable EWF before restart.

Although I've seen several entries describing similar scenarios, none of

Hi all,

Here's the problem ...

If I type EWFMGR, I get a message that "no EWF volumes are detected."

When I type EWFMGR C:, it displays the information about C: and that EWF is
DISABLED.

When I type EWFMGR C: -enable, EWFMGR replies that it "enabling EWF," but
follows with status that shows EWF still DISABLED.

This explains why etprep is failing to enable EWF and why my ET CD doesn't
work.

Question is, why is this happening?

First message is ok, it is because EWF partition is missing so ewfmgr
doesn't know anything since it can't read info he should show from driver.

Second mesage is also ok since it is disabled in your case.

efwmgr C: -enable just change value in registry from 0 to 1 (disable to
enable).
Next time you start XPE it will be enabled since driver will use this value
during the boot.

You must run etprep, and ewfmgr in same boot cycle. (you must not start
etprep, and then reboot without starting EWF.)

etprep does not enable EWF. He just tries to delete EWF partition, and
rearrange some registry keys used for drive letters.


Hope this helps,
Slobodan

Thanks,

I finally read all of the material in TD about this and discovered how it
worked ...

Ran EWFMGR C: -enable
Then etprep /all

The error is now "failed to swap drive letters ... error 02" or something
like that. I'm assuming this is where the (temporary) E: drive I can see in
Explorer and C: are swapped. E: appears as FAT32 ... is this correct?

This is all I could help you,

I'm doing RAM boot from CD, so I have never used eltorito.
