Cd_rom booting error 7B

[Slobodan Brcin \(eMVP\)]

Hi,

Too much steps (some of them are wrong and should not be done) and some
things are missing like ewf commits.
Do following:
1. Execute "ewfMgr c: -enable" ;
2. Execute "etprep /reset"
3. reboot
4. Execute "ewfMgr c:" and check response. (Make sure that EWF config
partition is non existing, deleted or you are using my REG RAM EWF solution)
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
5. Use "Regedit", go to HKLM\system\mountedDevice, delete all keys and
6.add \dosdevice\\c: = hex: 45,4c,54,45,00,7e,00,00,00,00,00,00 this
should be id of your CD just renamed to c: instead of el-torito volume
letter.
7. ewfmgr c: -commit
8. gracefully shutdown.

Follow this procedures literally.

Regards,
Slobodan

Slobodan,

hi all
Thank you KM
Thank you Slobodan

It seems OK now!
But it started slowly.
And when system started up,i first opened the "my computer" and try to
open the partition C, it's also very slowly. Perhaps over 5 minutes has been
spent before C opened.
What wrong with it?

Thanks again!

panyul,

Just for the record, could you tell us what was wrong with the initial steps
you made?

But it started slowly.
And when system started up,i first opened the "my computer" and try to
open the partition C, it's also very slowly. Perhaps over 5 minutes has been
spent before C opened.
What wrong with it?

Do you see the same behaviour when you boot the image off the HDD?
Check the services that are starting on the system.
Use bootvis.exe MS tool to find out the component(s) that makes the boot
time longer.
Check you network connection and how your device gets DHCP address if
applicable.

It is slow nothing more.

Once I tried using EL-torito but boot speed was one issue that I did not
like.
Second you must have CD present at all times in drive.
Then when ever you access something new, CD will spin up/down.
You must use CD on similar devices as the one that you used for FBA.
And I can remember right now but I think that there were few more things I
did not like.

Anyhow since my image is very small and I have plenty of RAM (minimum 512 MB
on each device) I switched to RAM boot from CD.
Except from little wasted RAM everything else is much better.

Slobodan

hi all:

To my initial steps i think, the error should be i did not execute
"ewfmgr c: -commit" ,so the changes manually made did not saved yet.
I followed the steps that Slobodan has provided

Check the services that are starting on the system.

time longer.

From HDD with cd inserted, the speed of booting is fast. But after started
up, it's also slow to open the C partition.
bootVis.exe ? i didn't used it, i'll try!

thank you KM

panyul,

up, it's also slow to open the C partition.

How slow is that? (5 min as you mentioned? or 30-40 secs?)
If it is very slow, you got problems within your XPe image and I'd suggest
you to fix them first on HDD and then move to CD.
Don't forget to check FBALog and Event Viewer (if included) for any errors.

bootVis.exe ? i didn't used it, i'll try!
