Hi Slobodan,

I generated an other image with the sdimgr command

H:\>sdimgr ramdisk.sdi /readpart:L:

When I used this file, a FBA phase is launched on my target after the remote
boot phase.

After the end of this phase, my Client reboot.

And the remote boot processes restart again and again and again.

I would like that my Client Remote Boot and run with my RAM XPE image
without FBA phase.

This is the C:\Program Files\Windows Embedded\Remote Boot Service\Boot.ini
file

[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="Microsoft Windows XP Embedded"
/fastdetect /noguiboot



This is the sdi DUMP who installed on the server in C:\Program Files\Windows
Embedded\Remote Boot Service\.

H:\>sdimgr ramdisk.sdi /dump

In 99% of scenarios you must pass FBA phase on HDD of your target device :(
Then you use sdimgr to create sdi file from post FBA data.

Everything else is ok.

Hi Michel,

Have you read following doc?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/remboot/html/xpconRemoteBootOverview
.asp

Take special care with value rdimageoffset.

You have created your SDI image from partition not from whole disk, right?

Ask again if you need more help, but give us more low level info, like your
windows folder path, boot.ini, your initial setup?

Regards,
Slobodan
