Bootable PCMCIA card

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

I have an XPE iamge that works fine on harddisks, and if I restore it on a
PCMCIA card, I am able to boot into Windows if the card is in an adapter
which I can then connect to the device via IDE. (that is, I am treating it as
though it is a hard disk)

However, if I use the same card and plug it into the PCMCIA slot and try to
boot up my device, I get an error while starting Windows. The bios supports
booting up via PCMCIA cards. The error occurs after the Windows logo
appears, but before I can reach login. I have tried to look for some answers
by searching the newsgroup, but I am still confused.

Must I build a separate image if I want to be able to boot into XP embedded
from the PCMCIA slot?

Many thanks for your patience. My mind is all muddled up now

Did you run TAP with the card connected via that PCMCIA slot? It might
need a different driver there, and if it's not got that driver in the
build, that would cause a problem...
