EWF (ones more)

[Gerhard Schaden]

i use the following configuration

Compact Flash (fixed DISK) on IDE

1. partition 2 MB (hidden FS)
2. partition 240 MB NTFS
REST Free

i ran FBA on a hard disk and copied the the files to the flash
everything looks good and seems to work fine, but

ewfmgr says
Unable to find ewf partition

ewfmgr c: says the the EWF is working
i can enable/disable/commit changes to c:

i verified that i have no ewfpartition, is that a problem, and i thought
that ewf configuration is stored in the ewf partition, but i can disable
and enable it, so how does XP know about EWF state?

Hi Gerhard,

create an empty partition as EWF partition. I had the same problem using
just free space on a fixed CF. When I partitioned the free rest everyting
worked fine.

Regards,
Alexander

Thanks for helping out in the NG Alexander.

I wanted to give everyone a heads up again that the Windows XP Embedded
development team will be in an online chat regarding topics such as the
Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) and El-Torito in Windows XP Embedded. Please
bring all your EWF questions, we'd love to get as much into the chat as
possible since it'll later be archived and can hopefully serve as another
resource to answer some of the tough questions.

Here is the date/time of the chat.
