did not load driver

[tlls98]

Hi,

I am new to XP embedded, I would appreciated if
people can give me some tips on the issues I run into

I run TAP, build a xp embedded image, all
of which works fine. However, when I attempt to boot the
image I created, off the E drive on my development machine
(C is the main drive (windows 2000 partition)
E is where my embedded XP image locates)
the OS begins to load (displaying the text-mode progress bar).
then "installing component.." shows up, and I got a black screen.

The ntbtlog.txt looks like the following:

Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Version 5.1 (Build 2600)

I have no idea on why cdrom.sys and serial.sys can not be loaded.
I run "depends" tool, and looks like all the required dll and sys for
those
two files have been loaded.

Many thanks if anyone can give me any hints/tips/help.

Carol

Did you setup the image appropriately for dual boot in Target Designer?
Driver letter and ARC path?

Hi, Sean,
Thanks a lot for the tip, and I was able to get a little further after
correcting
the drive letter for my image.

My first partition is drive C:, and xp embedded partition is driver E:.
When I built my image using E as the drive letter, I could not
even get to FBA. Now after I change it to D, I am still getting the
same "did not load driver" error msg, and the screen goes black
at " First Boot Agent... replacing system hives".
It just has been a frustrating exprience for me on XP embedded.
Any more feedback will be appreciated!
Thanks.

Carol

BTW. I ordered your embedded xp book 10mintues before hearing from you.

There is a log file under \Windows\FBA\fbalog.txt that lists everything that
is going on during FBA. Look inside the file to see what the issue is.

Dual booting is not the best way to learn XPe for the first time. There have
been many developers over the years who get a bad impression because tring
to dual boot. It is better to either have the image on a second drive and
swap if for C drive, use Virtual PC, or a completely seperate target.
