Ok, your answer matches whith what I thought. So, why sdi bigger than
500 MB cause Remote Boot Service failing? (Windows could not start due
to an error while booting from a RAMDISK.
Windows failed to open RAMDISK image.)
 
1. Did you include the RAM Driver component?
2. Try starting simpler to prove that the system works, don't do System
Cloning.

Well, I am going to try to remove system cloning tool. I have the ram
disk. I have just discover the Remote Boot Service probably assumes an
SDI of 500 MB maximum. I have the FP2007 version, perharps is there an
other more recent version that passes that limit?

thank you very much.

The maximun size of a SDI image is 500meg. Even if you woudl have 8gig
of ram, the limit is still 500meg.

100% sure on that, no version will allow you to have a image bigger
then 500meg.

Well, thank you. Do I have a way to use ram disk driver in order to
create an other disk in ram after the o.s. is started? And how can I do
this?
