my target flash has the appearance of a hard drive (it is not on a USB bus).
Obviously upgrading an RBS image is simple involving replacement of the SDI
on the boot server. I want to implement the following for replacing the
entire flash load on many machines:
1. Boot an RBS/SDI image.
2. This system will see the flash as the D: drive.
3. Overwrite files on D: via code in the SDI system that gets files from a
server and writes them to D:
This is also relatively simple although not yet implemented. There is a
hard part. When I get target boards pre-loaded with an industrial flash
device, the devices are completely "erased" in the sense that all bits are
zero. I would like to partition/format such a new device as step 1.5 above.
I can do so in XP Desktop using the Computer Management/Disk Management GUI
but my XPe system is small and Command Shell based. Since MS claims that
DiskPart is a superset of the CM/DM, I should be able to perform the
operations programmatically in XPe by invoking a scripted DiskPart session
but I cannot find commands in the "superset" that does what the "subset"
accomplishes. My question is whether there is a way to accomplish my task
by using API functions in Windows or via DiskPart commands that I have not
found.

I need an answer to this question

Context:
Using windows XP Embedded SP2 Feature Pack 2007.
The XPE Image contains almost all the needed Network components:
"File Sharing"
"TCP/IP Networking with File Sharing and Client for MS Networks"
"Map Network Drives/Network Places Wizard"
"Primitive:MPRUI"

From the XPE installed target, we need to map a network share.

Problem description:
When Netbios is disabled, calling WNetAddConnection2W() from an XPE SP2
machine fails into an error 1231 (ERROR_NETWORK_UNREACHABLE).


Notes:
- The targeted remote share is shared on an XP PRO with netbios enabled
- However, during the call, no network traffic is out going our XPE machine.

Remarks:
- when Netbios is enabled on the XPE system, the call then works correctly
- the same call running on an XP pro machine works good whether Netbios
enabled or not.
- using alternate functions such as "NetUseAdd()" or "NPAddConnection()"
gives the same error

Thanks in advance

I'm migrating from Windows XP Embedded SP2 FP2007 to SP3.
The initial Footprint of my OS image was increased a lot with SP3.

I would like to know if all the files found in the new "Japanese bitmap &
TrueType fonts" component version are absolutely necessary.
The old huge component files were:
msgothic.ttc
msmincho.ttc

The added huge files are:
msgoth04.ttc
msmin04.ttc

Are these last tow files absolutely necessary to use this Japanese font?

Thanks in advance

I´m using XpE on an dt166 minipc system by dt research.This hardware
is based on an AMD Geode LX-800 (500 MHz) processor. Furthermore i use
a touchscree by elo connected via USB to the mini pc. When the
touchscreen is connected to the pc the XPE startup sequence stops. I
see the XPE splash screen with the progress bar running, but the xpe
doesn´t boot further. When I disconnect the USB connection to the
tousch screen and reconnect the boot process continues immediately.
The XPE boots and everything works fine.

The same touchscreen with the same drivers is running on a celeron
based properly. So I suppose the reason is maybe related to the
combination of Elo touchscreen and geode processor.

Has anybody a useful idea how to manage this problem?

Thanks a lot

They are
Dell's Optiplex 755 and 760. On first boot they get past loading some
drivers (I see that via the /sos in boot.ini) and get to the first
blue-screen where the line "Boot loggibng enabled' is displayed then they
reboot themselves.

There's no FBA or bootlog cerated on the disk.

I've built plenty of other working inmages on other Optiplex machines like
the 620 and 960 but these two have never worked.

Any ideas on debugging this?

I thought to build a "Debug" version of my image and attach the debugger but
selecting a "Debug" build results in an image that has no NTLOADER.

Alright..i’ve been search for a couple days now and can’t seem to find
the correct answer. Actually I’m sure I have but just didn’t
recognize it.

How do I add more PNP support using Target Designer? I have the
config darn near exactly as I want it but I’m still loading driver for
video, audio etc after FBA

I’m sure there’s a way to import the INF, SYS and DLL for the
individual components.

My goal is to come out of FBA with no issues in the Device Manager.
Looking for something like
1. Go here
2. Make this
3. Do that
4. Import here
5. Build image


As always.. thanks in advanced!

Is there any way to cancel the license on a license build of the OS
We are having boot problems with our CF booting from hibernate and the
board manufactures want us to send an image for them to test.
I obviously do not want to send a licensed OS
But equally I do not want to rebuild the whole thing so I can send an
unlicensed one.
a) It may not exhibit the fault
b) Its a lot of work

So can I over write an ini file or reg setting to kill the license and
make it behave like an eval version?

update your binaries etc and can be used for installing FROM SCRATCH.

Then you need to re-image your whole machine to include the drivers? I
figure component installer would be in the DVD somewhere, no can't locate.

What the heck? I just want to to package and fix the docketport scanner
drivers. If i could only for the love of god find the the simple install for

Closest I found was WES2009Eval.
