We are trying to configure and use a RAM-based EWF overlay with XPE SP1, but
it fails...

Here are a couple entries from below that concern me:
EWF Partition Size = 0 (KBytes)
Enable= Disabled
Are these the settings you entered in the EWF settings in TD?

Oops, yes -- we are working on this together!

I saw a previous article where someone had the same problem, and they
resolved it by created an empty extended partition after their primary
(protected) partition and then EWF was effectively able to use that during
FBA. I'm not sure why it would need that...but we'll give it a try.

Ann,

Seems like the same question that was posted by "acp" a few thread below.

Yes, we set EWF Partition size to 0 in TD, as you are "supposed" to do for
RAM overlays.
In this instance we have it set to start disabled because we were trying to
bring it up manually (and have since been able to do that) because we had
this same error when we had it set to start automatically.
