Hi,

I am required to create an XPe image which runs on
compressed NTFS.

What is the procedure to do that and what components are
required. I have been releasing in FAT as my image is in a
220 MB Flash Drive.
 
Hi JW,

1. Keep ntldr. uncompressed.
2. Place ntfs component in you project.
3. Resolve dependencies.

Best regards,

You just have to prepare the drive for before deployment anyway.
Either partition and format it in NTFS (uncompress ntldr&ntdetect).
Or use disk cloning tool like sdi2hd.exe, ghost.exe, etc. (but it is better
to capture the disk image with the tool on target device storage, so it
comes to partitioning and formatting anyway).

Thank you for your reply.

What I do not understand how do you copy compressed files
over to the target drive as the NTLDR cannot be compressed.
 
JW,

You can do either one:
- Compress the entire drive,
You [x]copy all the files from your dev image build directory to the
drive,
On the drive manually uncompress ntldr&ntdetect (using Explorer, or
using compress.exe tool from Resource Kit).
- Not compress the entire drive,
You [x]copy all the files from your dev image build directory to the
drive,
On the drive manually compress all the files and directories except
ntldr&ntdetect (using Explorer, or using compress.exe tool from Resource Kit
again).

Hope it is what you asked for. If not, please expand on what exactly you
don't understand.
