XP First Boot Problem

[michael.wests30]

I'm trying to dual boot my first go at an XPE image. I've created the
image and deployed it to the second partition on my hard disk. I've
alter the boot.ini to allow me to dual boot.

When the computer loads I select "XP embedded" from the boot menu and
it appears to be loading. The white progress bar goes across the
screen, but once it reaches the right hand side of the screen it just
hangs with the white bar along the bottom of the screen. Any ideas
what could be causing this?

Add safe mode support component in ur configuration and try to run in
safe mode, watch carefully at which driver your system is hanging. Make
sure you have changed the paths in your configuration settings. If your
booting from drive E, then change 'C' to 'E' in your configuration
settings in "Boot Drive", "Windows Folder", "Program Files Folder" also
your boot partition size (in your configuration settings) should
exactly match with the actual partition size & also make sure you've
set the right parition in arc path in ur configuration settings.

Drive letter settings and arc paths are important for dual booting.
