Just like everyone is saying.
I'm going to be using a 512mb CF card ( $40 EvilBay )
Instead of using Win XP, I'm going to be using XP Embedded. XPE is a snapshot of just the parts of the OS that you need, so you have a very small OS footprint. I will also have a laptop drive for file storage. If either breaks, it's a quick change without having to reload and tweak.
You can also
here, as there is allot of talk about that type of setup.
I am wondering if I partition the CF Card and have the OS on one partition, then the files that change on another ( like settings ini and playlists etc...). I believe that the solid state CF cards don't have a write limit, just the CFII of Micro-Drives.
Can anyone give info on those questions ??
Sorry if I hijacked thread.
