Angus,

If you say method, then this is old solution (too much manual work), soon
you will be able to get one XPe component that will configure everything and
make a workarounds for most potential problems.
New solution can work on any USB device, but I have locked it to uDOC only
as requested from me.

I don't know anything about other USB XPe boot solutions (I have not seen
one).

Slobodan

Hi Angus

We can boot from a 512MB USB Disk on Key on our Thin Clients. We have no
Embedded DOM or CF inside the machine. We plug in the USB Disk on Key and
turn the machine on and it boots right from it. Let me ask my developer if
he did anything special. If you want you can contact me direct.

Cheers

Are you tired of viruses and worms affecting your businesses productivity?
Would you like an environment impervious to viruses and incredibly secure?
Our innovative Custom Application Terminal boots from a removable disk on
key.

Protection by an enhanced write filter means that nothing writes to the
disk, no viruses, no internet downloads, nothing!

Good marketing stunt.
Although last sentence is technically completely incorrect.
EWF protects volumes not disks, so if virus choose to access MBR, or to go around volume trough disk handle, you can look, cry and
weep.

Yeah, I didn't write it but yes you are indeed correct. I will let marketing
know that and change the wording of it from the current version.

I am still waiting to answer me correctly, but he told me that he added
components to the image to allow it to see the USB drive as a drive and then
boot from it, the BIOS of our machine has a setting to boot from a USB drive
and that has to be set. I do know that he uses Ghost to move the image to
the USB Key Drive.

As I know more I will pass on. Sorry that this is so vague.

Cheers
