formating internal drive to NTFS

Post by palladyn »

Hi,

I have build XPE image but i have problem with copying it up to webdt :( i cant format drive on to ntfs , just copying it on FAT32 will not work. I have described my problem about DVD drive few months ago. Now i am trying to boot it up form pendrive and it work perferectly i had linux distro on webdt earlier. The problem is that i can not format drive in to NTFS under clear DOS. My question is , how to do it without booting from CD i know that embedded xp have full range of aplication on the first bootable cd but i cant boot it up :(.
Or maybe there is a way to convert this first CD to USB pendrive ?

Check in the FAQ and The Collective parts of the forum. DOS does not support NTFS. You shouldnt be using NTFS on a FlashROM or Compact Flash card anyways, it will damage it over time. Look into Journalized File Systems sometime, and look into what NAND Flash Wear is.
