RAM Boot

[jonathan.mirza]

Hi All,

I would like to deploy and boot XP embedded from RAM. I have been
following the Microsoft Tutorial:

RAM Boot Using SDI in Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 1
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838543.aspx

I have so far managed to deploy a working image of XP embedded with
SP2 and EWF on compact flash. In the tutorial I have managed to get as
far as preparing the SDI image. I have read elsewhere that you aren't
supposed to import the NTLDR and STARTROM.COM files from the
remotebootmanager\downloads folder.

After I have prepared this new SDI file I am confused as to what I do
next.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The link you posted is useful for RAM boot scenarios with custom bootstrap programs.
Better links for you to start with the Remote Boot feature are as follows:
