  EWF Ntldr SDI question         


Author: Santiago Allen

Hi Guys,

I dont have a way to use bootprep so I am making an SDI file such that
I will be able to sdimgr it over to a DOM and deploy FBA. I did this
a long time ago with help from this board but I cannot find the old
post anymore. Here is what I know:

1) The conventional steps for creating a bootable SDI image as listed
here (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/
ms838635.aspx#xpesp1_build_deploy_img_tchimagedeploymentwithsdi) work
perfectly fine so long as you use standard NTLDR and not EWF NTLDR.
If you put EWF NTldr on this image, it will not boot.

2) If I remember correctly, I had to open up my sdi file in a hex
editor and change some locations in the disk blob, this was to
accomodate the fact that EWF NTLDR is not the same size as standard
NTLDR.

3) I have completely forgotten what I am supposed to change or how,
and my hex editor doesnt have a compare feature, so I can check old,
working versions.

Any takers? I promise to bookmark it this time so I never lose it.
