Bootable PCMCIA card

Hi everyone,

I have an XPE iamge that works fine on harddisks, and if I restore it on a
PCMCIA card, I am able to boot into Windows if the card is in an adapter
which I can then connect to the device via IDE. (that is, I am treating it as
though it is a hard disk)

However, if I use the same card and plug it into the PCMCIA slot and try to
boot up my device, I get an error while starting Windows. The bios supports
booting up via PCMCIA cards. The error occurs after the Windows logo
appears, but before I can reach login. I have tried to look for some answers
by searching the newsgroup, but I am still confused.

Must I build a separate image if I want to be able to boot into XP embedded
from the PCMCIA slot?

Many thanks for your patience. My mind is all muddled up now :(

Did you run TAP with the card connected via that PCMCIA slot? It might
need a different driver there, and if it's not got that driver in the
build, that would cause a problem...
