USB boot

[Dietmar]

Hi all,
the new USBBOOT2 component in the Future 2007 pack failes on i875
motherboards.
I testes it with some images, none boots.
You receive a message "winsrv was not found"
or BSOD 0x7b.

Nice to hear from you

PS: If you want to know, how to boot from USB,
(hihi) have a look at

http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=14181

Until now, I do not know a single newer compi, that does not boot from
USB, doesnt matter if the OS is XPE SP1, XPE SP2, XP SP1, SP2, Win2003
Server, Windows Vista (even RC1) and I think also Win 2000 and NT4 (with
the chinese USB drivers) can do that. Win98 works also.

Dietmar,

You might want to post his to the FP2007 beta NG. I have seen a similiar
issue with other systems.

Hi all,

if you got BSOD 0x7B on USB boot before fba can run (or a message, that
boot.ini
fails or something other...) do the following:

1.) Copy the ntldr (build on 28. August 2002)
from XPSP1 to your image.

2.) Change the ntdetect.com against my modified one (build 15. Mai 2004).

3.) Put a boot.ini on it with the content

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Embedded"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Embedded11"


That works.

Nice to hear from you all

Hi all,

in some cases gives the use of

"ACPI-Uniprozessor-PC"

BSOD 0x7b.
Use instead "Standard PC" component.

Good luck

Hi all,

I focused the problem of 0x7b BSOD for USB boot
in the case of ACPI-Uniprozessor-PC to the
hal.dll that is dfferent from that hal.dll from Standard PC. If you chance
simple that bad hal.dll on your image against the hal.dll of the Standard
PC, all is ok.

ntoskrnl.exe and hal.inf are in both cases exact the same.

Is what you found using FP2007 USB 2.0 boot solution?

Hi Sean,

yes, all the postings here belong to the new future 2007 pack. I succeed
now with ONE image, build with the future pack (and all what I know about
USB boot), that simply boots every newer compi.
The boottime is always less than 1 minute. It is on a Buffalo USB stick
with FAT32 and EWF enabled. I also set the mechanical writeprotect switch.
With NTFS, your memory is filled quick up with time...brr, even when you
disable in registry prefetch and so on.

Nice to hear from you
Dietmar

PS: This is ideal, when you got a hardware crash.
I put Hexeditor Winhex 11.9 on it and some other
tools for repair. You see no difference to a normal XP boot with this
wonderfull repair stick.

Standard PC trick didn't work either.
