Hi,
I am coming across a sporadic problem when I reboot a CF based XPe system.

I am running XP embedded from a CF card connected to the secondary IDE
controller, and all seems fine. However if I reboot the PC using the
"shutdown /r /f /m xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" command then approximately 1%% of the
time, the system will not boot up again. When I attach a monitor to the PC,
and reboot the system I get the following message before the windows splash
screen appears: "Windows could not start because the following file is
missing or corrupt: \windows\system32\config\system"

If I try to clone the flash card using Winhex, then it encounters at least
one bad sector (chkdsk does not find this bad sector). A format of the CF
card will remove this bad sector.

I am using standard Kingston 256Mb flash cards formatted with a boot sector
and NTFS. I am not using EWF as I have data that needs to be stored over a
reboot cycle, and I have only one flash card slot (and no hard disk)
available.
