FP2007 USB 2.0 Boot with real HD

[Dick Dawson]

Have a device that I need to FBA with an external HD (ATA drive in USB
case). Have added "USB 2.0 Boot" component. Previous posts suggest udfprep
is not needed. Have formatted HD as FAT16 and have used bootprep on it.
Get initial boot progress bar but then blue screen, stop 7B. Help
appreciated.

I used a standard 6GB PATA HDD last week through a normal USB hard
drive case. I created two partitions (1GB and 5GB) using Windows XP
disk management and formatted them with NTFS. The first partition was
marked active.

What is the actual error?

Do you have any unresolved dependencies?

Which progress bar does it stop on? the black screen with the light
grey bars at the bottom, or the one with the Windows logo on it and
blue bars?

Mike,
The error is:
STOP: 0x0000007B (0XF789E524,0xC0000034,0X00000000,0X00000000)
I have no unresolved dependencies.
The machine completes the first progress bar (black screen, light gray bar)
and the Windows logo just starts coming into view when the blue screen
occurs.

I am using a 10GB PATA HD in a normal USB case. I created a 250MB FAT16
partition and used bootprep on it. I haven't found enough info about USB
boot to know whether this is a supported scenario. I've used the
FAT16/bootprep scenario successfully many times before on devices with an
IDE interface and HD. Thanks.

The system boots from IDE disk okay, is this correct?
Have you tried booting from a USB flash key?
Any missing components:

I just had a thought: You're not using FBWF are you? FBWF only supports
FAT32 and NTFS.
