Compact Flash and EWF

[Guest]

I want to have XPe on an IDE CF (i.e. Disk On Module), I know that you can
have disk and RAM overlays, but how do I specify where the overlay actually
writes to? For example if I have a CF drive and two standard drives, how is
it possible to specify a particular drive to act as the overlay recipient?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

I know that you can

writes to?

You can't specify that :-(
But it can be done trough some very difficult manipulations (if needed).

Basically EWF will search for first disk with enough space based on order that disk driver were loaded, so you only need to change
driver load order or to make other disks full with partitions so that EWF do not have a choice.

Hi Rob,

You should be able to do this trough following switched with little tweaking.

Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ewf\Parameters\Overlay
Value Name: ArcName
Type: REG_SZ
Value: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)
