FBA and "Disk Boot Failure"

[Guest]

Hi,

Somethings appends currently when I installed a 1Go Embedded Flash Disk on
3,5" PC Card.

The disk is well detected by the BIOS and the FBA doesn't launch because the
BIOS detect any OS installed on the flash disk.

If I transfer a ghost image of XP OS on the flash disk, it will well start.
After I can replace all XP folders and files by a Windows XP Embedded Image,
then the FBA is well started.

Does someone can help me to understand what is not well going for the first
launch of the flash disk ?

Thank you

Patrick

....did you mark the disk as active?

Thanks for your response,

but the problem is now different.
When the bios begin to read the disk I have this message :
"Err. reading disk"
"Hit CTRL+ALT+SUPPR to restart"

Is there other things to do ?

Reganas,

How do you prepare the media for boot?
What exactly steps you went through?

Hi,

The problem is now resolved...
In fact, it was due to the method I used.

I placed my flash disk in an external case USB.
I launched the NTFS formatting. Then I declared the flash disk as active.

But the NTFS formatting in an external USB case, was not the same thing as
if I was placing the flash disk directly on an IDE bus. Some Mo were lost
during the process.

So there was always a problem. Even if I tried to install a Ghost image.
Today, the problem is resolved.

So the good way is to work with IDE.

Thanks
