I have followed the tutorial "Building and Deploying a Run-Time Image" exactly
with two exceptions:
1. I ran tap.exe in the WinPE environment rather than XP or 2000.
2. My development machine is Windows 2000.
Because of exception 2, I found guidance in past posts that stated I should
replace ntldr and NTDETECT.EXE on my Windows 2000 system with the same files
that are generated by my XPe build.
I have rechecked many times that my boot.ini is set as in the tutorial, that the
settings for my configuration target the D: drive, that my 2nd disk is indeed
the D: drive, etc. And I have tried to boot the deployed system on 3 different
second hard drives - two of them were smaller than 5000MB and one larger. I
used the exact size for the smaller ones and 5000 for the larger one. In every
instance after choosing the XP Embedded system on the boot selection screen, I
get the message "could not read from the selected boot drive."
I know this problem has been covered before but I need to know whether there are
any other steps that apply to the situation of a Windows 2000 development system
and/or whether there are any known hardware compatibility issues.
