I'm looking into using USB flash drives for a project and have been
experimenting.

So far I have an image I'm happy with but I can't get a copy of it to
work.

All I'm doing is using UfdPrep to format the drive and copying the
files using Windows Explorer. That's all I need to do for a hard
drive based image. With USB flash drives the image stops during boot
if EWF (RAM Reg) was enabled before copying or, if I disable EWF
before the copy, it will boot but I'm unable to enable EWF.

EWFMGR C:

"Failed getting protected volume configuration with error 50.
The request is not supported"

How should I go about this?

The flash drives are an identical model (Sandisk U3, 512MB)

Ok, I discovered that using xcopy to copy the files works. There is
something wrong with using Explorer to copy them even though I have
it set to show hidden and systems files.
