EWF problem on 512MB SANDISK CF

I've a problem with RAM EWF on 512 MB sandisk CF.
When system reboot, EWF not work.
Here there is the fbalog.txt:

- I have three partitions ( 400MB(primary) - 60 MB(primary) - about 8
MB(free) )
- I've run the sandisk utility to set the flash as "Local disk".
- The CF is marked as SDCFB-512-101-80.

The problem is that THE SAME IMAGE, on a 384 MB sandisk CF, work
correctly, and ewf is OK!
( I've built the image on a 384MB CF marked as SDCFB-384-201-80, and
on a CF marked as SDCFB-384-101-80 , and both work correctly)


My question is: why EWF works correctly on the 384MB flash and not on
the 512MB?

Thank you very much.

roberto,

According to your log you are trying to protect only one partition using EWF
RAM overlay.
Then you can use Slobodan's component
http://www.xpefiles.com/a_file.cfm?custid=Components&fileid=ramewf.zip&groupName=Other
to eliminate the need for EWF configuration partition and thus avoid any
related errors.

In your particular case it might happen that an old EWF partition was there
on the 512 card. Have you used etprep before copying the image
to CF? Or just delete the partition (use diskpart, e.g.) manually.
Here you'll find more info on the problem:

There isn't old EWF partition in my CF. I've created partitions with
Partition magic, and I've tried 10 times, and evry time i've deleted
all partitions on my CF.

It looks like it's trying to create the EWF partition in the second
primary partition, which is why it's failing. EWF seems to go for the
first partition or amount of free space after the partition you're
creating. Am I right in thinking you've got primary partition, primary
partition, free space on the drive?
Assuming it's the first primary partition you're protecting, what
happens if you leave the free space after that partition and before the
second partition - you might have to create a small partition and then
delete it to achieve this. Alternatively, would it be possible for you
to boot from the second partition and protect that (this is what I do)
rather than booting from the first one - you shouldn't have a problem
then and the EWF partition would be created in the free space after the
protected drive.
