EWF ArcName

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me what my ArcName would be for my XPe image with the following

Primary IDE - Hard drive, CDRO
Secondary IDE - CF car

Is there a way to display what the arc paths are ?

Hi Dave,

Forget science and do few tests with multi os boot.ini

timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XPE 0" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XPE 1" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XPE 2" /fastdetect

Probably it will be XPE 1.

I have nothing to add here beside the Slobodan's reply.

You can also read this helpful KB: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;93373

Either you guess (reading the KB article first) or you can use MS tools like diskpart or 3rd party tools that work on XP Pro. E.g.,
Paragon Partition manager. It will show you the arc paths (I assume that you may get XP Pro running on your target from HDD or you
can boot off WinPE CD) .

Now that you said this.
Arc path depend on bios settings. And if he chooses to boot from CF device arc path will be default.
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS"
If he choose to boot from HDD and use boot.ini for selecting os from CF then arc path will be most likely
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS"
