WinPe from USB HDD

[Bumbastik]

Hi All,

I have a "little" problem with WinPe from usb HDD (without load RAM ), when boot I see the classic Vista progress bar but after a blue screen with this error

0x0000007B ( 0x80E03ABA0, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

have you any idea for this issue ?

I have tried on three different pcs and USB HDD is only hdd present on the pcs

Thanks for your help

07B means that it can't find the boot drive so I would guess on missing drivers or to old bios

Mats ,

thank for your answer , but I have tried with four new main boards and all with last bios version .

This procedure works fine only with internal hdd ( S- Ata ) .

Have you any , suggestion , workaround or fix about my issue ?

thank ( again ) for your help

Ciao

AnyB.

Last thing I have heard is that WinPE 2.0 resets the USB bus somewhere in the boot process and thus breaks the access to the USB boot hdd itself. If you use the RAM-disk method you won't have that problem, but you will need more RAM in the PC to be booted.

bj-Kaiser ,

your answere is correct .

My problem is present only when I try boot from external usb w/o load ram

if my pWinpe boot from external usb with load ram all works fine

if my Winpe boot from internal Hdd ( S-ata ) w/o load ram works fine

bye
