Hi.
I am building an EWF volume and during the FBA a message box appears with
Save Hives(DEFAULT) Failed. Can anyone please advise on what the problem may
be.
Regards
Graham.
 
Hi Graham. How large is the partition where you're running FBA? It's
possible that you're running out of hard drive space before the hives are
fully saved. Also, if you are using a page file (something you should not
do with an EWF runtime), try disabling the page file in your configuration
or at least reducing its size.

Let us know if these tips help. =)

Hi Matt.
Yes the problem was partition size. Confusion where some sizes are in MB and
others in KB. I do have a page file requirement. I want to locate it to the
overlay by the registry. I have one overlay and the current reg setting is c:
pagefile 2 50 so do I need to change any thing?
Thanks.
Regards
Graham.
 
I'm not sure what you mean by wanting to locate the page file to the overlay
by the registry. The page file should definitely NOT reside on the same
partition that EWF is protecting, however - this will cause the EWF overlay
to be eaten up very quickly.

I don't have the exact instructions handy for moving the page file's
physical location, unfortunately. When I find those instructions, I'll post
them here, or perhaps someone else could help with this?

Hi Matt.
I need a page file of some 50Mb. From other comments on this list on EWF I
have added a D drive as an extended partition. The XPe help example suggests
making a registry entry which I have done. However the page file always ends
up in C:. When after building and running the target image and going to
Control Panel, System,Advanced, Pagefile I find the option set up in the
registry as D: 2 50 which can be selected but will never set. Only allowing
windows to make the choice from the D drive can I gat my page file moved to
D: and of a size much bigger like 700MB.
Hope that explains the problem better.
Regards
Graham.
