Can FBA run on Compact Flash ?

Ravi,

I saw this once when the file system the CF was formatted with was not part
of the runtime image. Try adding all the file systems (doesn't increase
footprint very much at all) and rebuild, and re-deploy. HTH,

If the Compact Flash is marked as removable it won't work. Some compact
flash manufacturers provide a utility that will mark the CF device as
non-removable.

When FBA starts, it runs EWF. EWF attempts to create a temporary partition
on the compact flash device. If the CF is removable, this will fail.
Windows can't modify partitions on removable media.

However, if the CF device is marked as fixed, it will work. It is
recommended that you contact your compact flash manufacturer to find out how
to mark your compact flash device as a fixed drive. Or, you can use an
intermediate hard disk to run FBA on. Then, copy the image over to your CF.

Kesavan,

Contact your CF manufacturer for utility that will allow you to do that.
