unable to find an EWF volume

[Maverick]

Hi, all

I want to use RAM based EWF on a harddisk to run my image. I partitioned my
harddisk to two partitions:
c: 506MB
d: 16MB

But after FBA, when I tried to run ewfmgr, it reported "unable to find an
EWF volume".

Here is the FBAlog.txt:

19:56:39 PM - ConfigureEwf() Start.

Hi Maverick,

To avoid problems with EWF config partition you should simplify your
partition structure and use only primary partitions. (do not use extended
partitions if you don't have to).

Also consider Registry RAM EWF Alternative.

Yes , you are right. After I deleted my second partition, EWF volume could
be created successfully. Thanks!
