Mark The thread you have been studying, and which you linked to in your last post, related to trying to get a VistaPE partition booting on my...
Here's the view from DD
This what is so puzzling. Apart from setting up a 2GB partition v. 4GB before everything else is identical, same disk, no BIOS changes, both...
Mark Yes, that is the problem. In the aftermath of losing Vista a week ago I removed the VistaPE partition, determined that I would never...
Mark Cutting a rather long story short, could the fact that my VistaPE partition on the eSATA is positioned right at the end of a 320GB drive...
If a new primary partition is created Windows will assign it a new drive letter which precedes any logical partition lettering, all of which then...
Bit hesitant to chip in here in case I get barked at too ;) Solved same problem with same NIC by creating a VistaPE bootdisk for ATI (and DD)....

I have restored no end of Ghost and ATI images for various reasons but not yet, fortunately, because of a drive failure. While it is obviously...
Success - and this time it seems to be lasting, as it has survived two reboots into XP and back again. I only tried this because a mate on...
I'm going to swap the drives Master/Slavewise next. Worth a try, but involves some physical rearrangement. Will be back. Too close to give up...
Success! Reformatted to NTFS, did the other things, reconnected both drives, and from my boot options function key it booted into VistaPE with...
So as to leave no stone unturned I will try that. At the end of the day though it's no more than an inconvenience, as it boots VistaPE fine from...
