FBA Application Error

Hello,

I've been trying to build a basic XP Embedded image that
works, but the FBA keeps crashing in the midst of
running. The issue is not memory, and the FBA log doesn't
show any errors, but the FBA keeps trying to write to a
location in memory that it shouldn't.

I'm using a dual-boot configured machine with Win2000 as
the development environment on C:, with D: as the
partition for testing the XP build.

The exact message I'm getting is:
fba.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x03061c7c" referenced memory
at "0x0000000c". The memory could not be "written". Click
on OK to terminate the program.

I have the target settings all set to use the D: drive,
and the disk size set to 5000 (as per the instructions for
all disks over 5 GB in size).

This behavior started about the time I tried doing a build
which would allow installation from a CD. Prior to that,
I'd been able to build XP images that would work just fine
on the D: partition.

Can anyone out there give me a hand with this issue, or
atleast point me in the direction I need to be searching?

Attach the fba log to the thread, please. Do *not* copy and paste the
contents, it'll get jumbled up.

Are you sure you don't need a pagefile? That's a classic indication when it
fails with that error mid way through registering so many binaries.

Thanks.
 
Oh, another thing, when you say you set everything to D:, you really mean
this, right?:

Boot Drive C:
Windows folder D:\windows
Program files folder: D:\Program Files
Documents and Settings folder - D:\Documents and Settings

Your boot drive is going to be C:, since that's where the
ntldr/ntdetect/boot.ini are located in your dual boot configuration. if you
set boot drive to D: that is really going to mess up where fba is expecting
to find the files it's supposed to be using, since the relative location is
now incorrect.
