Hello Srinivas,
After the process is complete, take the files into a machine where you can boot the image. Or you can try the RAM boot shown in the articles.
Best regards
Augusto

Thanks a million for this walkthrough! It has by far been the largest source of information for the project I’m working on.

I found a workaround to the 64 bit issue with SDIMgr. For those running a 64 bit OS, when using SDIMgr, open %windir%\SysWOW64\cmd.exe (as an administrator) and kick off your ‘cscript sdimgr.wsf /blah’ from there.

Works like a charm!

Thanks again,

Keith

Hello Hong,
Are you using a SATA hard drive? do you have the drivers regarding to that device?

Sorry my previous question with regard to setting up displays of 800×600, this is I find the solution.

Currently I’m working so Diskless or Remoteboot Windows Embedded Workstation this can be used to communicate with the Citrix Server, I have been trying to install a citrix client on this workstation with the ica32.exe files Client for 32-bit Windows
but failed (the installation can not run).

How to file for citrix client this workstation and how to do installation? Thanks.

Cheers!

Thank you. I have successfully build a diskless or remotebook in workstation. oh yah, one more question, how do you monitor display settings / vga 800×600 automatically when the workstation is running?

Cheers!

Hello azibach,
Ok I see what might be the problem there. The SDI file is larger that 500mb and the NTLDR included does not support images with that size.
Try building an image with less than 500mbs and the error should dissappear.
If you cannot shrink any more that image, I think there are some resources in the web that can give you a workaround for the large images.
Hope it helps,
Cheers!

Thanks for the answer, but I have been laying ramdisk.sdi this file in the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Embedded\Remote Boot Service\Downloads, in accordance with the step 4.1 of the article you.

Hello azibach,
That error appears when the image on the server cannot be located. More info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838569(WinEmbedded.5).aspx
Check the file locations of the image you created, remember that must be stored in the specified directory in the post.
Hope it helps,
Cheers!
