I have a 1.6Gb primary master HD with 2 partitions on 1.3 G with XP Pro on it
and 256Mb with an embedded image. The image runs works fine. I also have a
512Mb scandisk as a secondary master that I am trying to transfer the image
to and boot. What changes do I need to make to the boot.ini file to make
this happen?

this is my current boot.ini,

[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XP Pro/fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="XP Embedded" /fastdetect

thanks
kevin
 
Should look like this, if your system has your flash setup correctly,
remember the BIOS has to support flash boot. Several boards out there do not
map the Flash port to the IDE bus, but as a memory bus only (no access from
BIOS to boot)

[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XP Pro/fastdetect
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XP Embedded" /fastdetect

Additionally here are some resources to de-mystify the boot.ini:

Geode GX1 with Disk on Chip, or CF... if It's Disk on chip, make sure you
have the M-Systems Component in your SLX file.
