Can EWF volume reside on a SCSI disk?

I just read that the EWF volume "can reside on any IDE drive" does this mean

the EWF volume cannot reside on a SCSI drive?


Thanks,

acp,

Why not? You even have IDE/SCSI option on the EWF component settings page
for the protected volume disk type.

From the log you attached, check if:
- "PnP(User-Mode)" component is included in your Configuration
- Befiore deploying the image and starting FBA, make sure to delete old
EWF Config partition from your target disk. You can do that with "etprep
/delete".

True you can specify the type of partition to protect,
but i'm not so sure you can specify the EWF volume type.
And, yes i do have the PnP User Mode component. Don't
need to remove the EWF volume, FBA is already doing that:

i don't see why it wouldn't work, have you been able to do this with a SCSI
drive?

Thanks,
acp

Using the following technical artical:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnxpesp1/html/XPESP1_CF_EWF.asp

i was able to manually get EWF working:

Protected Volume Configuration
Type RAM
State ENABLED
Volume ID 8E B1 82 7F 00 7E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Device Name "\Device\HarddiskVolume1" [C:]
Max Levels 1
Clump Size 512
Current Level 1

Memory used for data 3774976 bytes
Memory used for mapping 4096 bytes


but i have yet to get it configured during FBA, even after a
low-level format of the root disk. Any additional ideas and
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
acp

What do you mena by that? Do you have a custom FBA command that calls to etprep /delete?
Before image deployment just make sure to delete the EWF Config volume.

No, what i observed in the fbalog.txt was that the EWF Config Volume
was already being deleted, (see log entry below). i didn't script
or FBA command anything.

If i can get an IDE drive into this machine, i'll try the same
thing with it just to confirm or deny the issue.
