When using the ram boot to boot a sdi image I get this error after it loads the image in ram and tries to load windows pe.
<Windows root>\System32\hal.dll is missing
I Don't know what the windows root folder its looking for. I have tried the following folders.
Windows\System32
Minint\System32
System32
I386\System32
Any clue what <Windows root> is?
The boot.ini has this in it
ramdisk(0)\windows="XPE RAM" /fastdetect /rdpath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\image.sdi /rdimageoffset=245760
I'm booting off of an usb hard drive. The drive has the following files on it.
BOOT.INI
image.sdi
NTDETECT.COM
NTLDR
The SDI image is just a copy of the WinPE cdrom.
This is very low level problem and it is probably related to your boot.ini
settings.
Can you post your boot.ini so we can see it.

Slobodan

I got the drive booting the ntldr and i have a boot.ini setup to do a
ramdrive with the sdi image. I ran into a problem with couldnt find
(root)\system32\**dll file** error. Most likely the sdi image is not setup
correctly.
