USB Boot file descriptions

[wimb]

Install of the BootSDI.img File as boot option in boot.ini Menu on HDD can be accomplished

by using BOOT_IMG.cmd or you can use Option C in Make_USB.cmd when you prepare your USB-stick.

This means that when preparing your USB-stick using Make_USB.cmd you can

at the same time Install your BootSDI.img file as Boot Option in boot.ini Menu

on your USB-stick as well as on your C-Drive.

But the general way to Install your LiveXP BootSDI.img file as Boot Option

in your boot.ini Menu on Harddisk, is to use BOOT_IMG.cmd

The maximum size of BootSDI.img file is determined by the amount of RAM in your system.

As a good thumbrule one can say it is RAM-64 MB with a maximum of 500 MB (MS limited).

For Compaq machine of 2002 with 256 MB RAM I can boot with a BootSDI.img file of 102 MB

which contains Acronis Disk Director 10, Ghost, Small CD-Writer, Opera and PENetwork Support,

and Smart Driver Backup, FreeFSCapture53, MMC and ProduKey.

Therefore you have to limit the Basic > Shells > Addons > ImDisk RAM Drive to 15 MB

and the Finish > Create Image > BootSDI Free Space was Set to 10 MB
