CF boot. CF Shows up as D:

ketilmorstoel · 01-30-2006, 04:06 PM

After following Sfiorito's EWF guide down to every tiny detail, there is one problem that i just cant sort out. My CF boots fine into DOS, and apparently transferring the files from HD to CF is done correctly. However, when I do my initial boot from CF, it almost resumes from hibernaion in complete, but always leads to a BSOD. Pressing F8 while booting gives me the option to "delete retoration data" and do a "fresh" boot. Doing this makes my CF appear as drive D, and obviously the drive is no longer "protected" by EWF..

Any ideas?

Best regards, Ketil.

do you still have the HDD plugged in when you boot up?

No other drives connected, only the CF which is set as master.

Ps: Thanks for sharing your knowledge and spending time with us here SFiorito. Its highly appriciated!

All the best, Ketil.
