Thread: XP Pro on CF card working!!

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ is where I found mine. Should be here on Friday unless they're bull****ting about having it in stock. We'll see.

one problem left SFiorito. Are you getting this too? Every time I boot up with EWF enabled I get the windows failed to start properly message. I hit continue anyways and it works fine.

Yeah, I always get that so I just disabled the boot up error message. There's probably some registry setting to fix that check somewhere.

kubile what did u mean by cheap cf adaptors? the ones with the dual bootable slots?? for 99cents?

so I just disabled the boot up error message

Hahaha. Sounds so simple. How did you do it?

It's in the docs dude!!! System Properties -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery

Dude! What docs?!?! I looked all over the forums andthis link.

Searched for chkdsk everywhere. Nothing about disabling it.

Where did you bury it?!?

P.S. If you post one of those search or google emoticons, I'm going to come over there and shove my Sandisk Extreme you know where.

Well, the boot up error message is in System Properties under the first EWF paragraph, disabling chkdsk is a reg setting in the new doc under Session Manager\BootExecute. Normally it's got a chkdsk command in there, but we clear it out so it doesn't run anything.

knubile: bhphotovideo shipped my Extreme III so I guess it's for real. Hopefully this will improve boot times by a good bit. We'll see....
