Hi,
I have looked thru previous posts on this to try andf resolve problem but
have had no success yet.
1. I have a fixed mode CF from SimpleTech.
2. I used HDD partitioned to match the CF size to create a post FBA image.
In addition, I copied that image to another partition on the same HDD. This
last part was so I could copy the image to the CF on the target system. (To
clarify, my method for transferring post-FBA image is by saving that from
HDD by selecting all files and saving to directory on development machine. I
then copy this saved image to other HDDs to create clone. This has always
worked for me. In attempting to do the same thing with CF on target I found
XPe would not let me while the image was running. I then decided to copy the
post_FBA image an additional partition so I could perform my transfer method
to the CF.)
3. I booted the target using the hard drive and my XPe image. The CF is
installed prior to turn on so geometries are known. I have included Disk
Manager component.
4. I formatted the CF on target device, using Disk Manager, as NTFS and
marked the partition active.
5. I copied all files from the additional partition as I noted previously to
the CF.
6. I rebooted target specifying the CF as boot source. It never boots. I
just get blinking cursor.
I don't believe my CF formatting steps are wrong. It is a fixed mode CF and
other posts seem to indicate that I can use Disk Manager on target to format
to NTFS, etc.
Is my transfer method part of my problem?
Thank you ahead of time for your help!
