Hi Sam,

Since you are trying to use RAM EWF, you can obsolete this problem.

Go to www.xpefiles.com
Components->Other->ramewf.zip

There you will find more info how to completely skip creation of temporary
EWF partition on disk. So you will not have this problem any more.

It's not recognizing the disk as an El Torito CD. So the EWF error may just
be a symptom, not the cause.

It's possible the CD was burned in a normal, non-ISO9660 style. In Nero,
there's a pull-down menu in the burn setup page - track at once, disk at
once, or disk at once/96. The latter uses the ISO 9660 method, which is
what is needed for an El Torito CD.

Quick test: If you can read the files on the CD with Windows Explorer, then
it wasn't burned right (.iso file can't be seen).

Hi Sam,

There are several reasons why you may run into the "Can't create EWF
partition" error:

- There is already an EWF configuration partition on the disk. If you've
run FBA before and created an EWF partition, but didn't delete it, this
error may occur the next time you run FBA. Use Fdisk or diskpart to delete
the EWF partition, then try booting FBA again.

- There isn't enough space on the disk

- EWF is trying to create the partition immediately after an extended
partition. Try filling up the rest of the disk with an empty Extended
partition. EWF can set up the configuration partition *within* an extended
partition, but not immediately after.

Here's a good whitepaper on configuring EWF:
