I was wondering something: Over at Tom's Hardware there is a article about putting BartPE on a USB stick. The linked page above discusses using the 2K3 SP1 setupldr.bin file along with ramdisk.sys. Now from my understanding, the older bootloaders used the "emulate floppy" mode to load the kernel and then go into the install, but recently they ran into size issues with the 1.44 meg limitation for floppys, even most emulated ones(I know about 2.88...). I have this sneaking feeling that the major change in the boot process is to start using an initial ram disk for the startup. So, could we maybe get this working with a modification of the ramdisk.sys method? Just some ideas, I've yet to really try getting this to work, and have much to learn about how this all works. Anyway... JC
