FBA Failure

[Dean Macinskas]

Well, I built my image (of my development system, a DEll 2400) and moved it
to a target partition. When I boot it the FBA begins to execute, and then
stops with the following message:

The instruction at "0x4fede2b8" referenced memory at "0x0000000c". The
memory could not be "written".

Can anyone suggest what really failed and what I need to do to remedy it? I
started the configuration using a .pmq from TAP, and added FAT and NTFS. Is
there anything else that's considered "boilerplate", i.e., stuff that's not
pulled in via dependencies but is required in every config?

Thanks again.

If FBA started then this mean that you usually have enough drivers.

Do you use EWF?
How much memory do you have?
Do you have second device just for test purposes to eliminate posibility of
hardware problem.

Hi Dean,

[FBAFixWindowsPathsInRegistry] Incorrect WinDir: [C:\WINDOWS] should be
[D:\WINDOWS]

This is a problem you should really take its advice and use D: or follow my
link so that you can use C:

What is the ARC path to your XPe windows folder?

Regarding the rest of your answers I can say that this machine will work
just nicely

Slobodan,

Thanks. I was booting into my C: via a boot floppy, and I hadn't actually
marked C: as active. As soon as I did so, all my problems went away. I was
even able to build a bootable CD!

Now, on to repeating the exercise with the real target.

Thanks again,
Dean

I've attached the fbalog.txt from my last boot. I too see complaints
about
paths, although I don't know why. I'm running XPe from a C: partition; XP
Pro is in F:.


Not yet. My goal is to build a bootable CD, but before I go there I
wanted
to make sure I could buils a disk-bootable version.


256 mb. The machine I'm using is my XPe development machine, and it runs
XP
Pro without difficulty.

That would involve mucking about with another dev machine. If this one
boots XP Pro, why should XPe be a problem?
