I would like to thank Karyonix for his wonderful driver, as being discussed in the thread here: http://www.boot-land...?...pic=8804=
I am attaching a FiraDisk script for livexp. Thanks to Lancelot for the encouragement. Hope this helps.
Update on Sep.6 :
Tested the following:
BootSDI NOT used. ImDisk B: drive is part of the build.
With XP sources (versions 0.0.1.10 and 0.0.1.12) :
1. Booting Livexp from a Firadisk Livexp Iso (menu.lst):
title LiveXP-Firadisk-ISO map --mem (hd1,0)/test_img.img (hd3) map --mem (hd1,0)/pmagic-4.3.iso (hd32) map --mem (hd1,0)/minlex/ISO/LiveXP.iso (0xFF) map --hook chainloader (0xFF)2. Booting Livexp from cd with non-boot Firadisk defined using grub4dos.
3. Booting firadisk LiveXP.iso over network using tftpboot/grub4dos.
4. Booting from a RAM hard disk image.
5. Amalux complete package (with and without bootsdi).
With Win2k3 sources (version 0.0.1.12):
1. Booting Livexp from a Firadisk Livexp Iso
2. Booting from a RAM hard disk image.
Here's what works:
1. Booting Livexp from RAM Disk
2. Exlporer works, all partitions are recognised with drive letters
3. Non-boot RAM CD Rom works
4. Non-boot RAM Disk Works
5. Device Manager shows FiraDisk Virtual Disk Enumerator and the RAM CDRom and Disk.
6. Disk Management recognises the drives
7. Formatting the RAM hard disk works
8. Check http://www.boot-land...hl=livexp tips for Disk Management Partitioning workarounds.
8. "sc query firadisk" shows firadisk is running
9. PXE booting with tftpboot works with LiveXP.iso.
What needs to be noted:
1. The firadisk driver date and version info is suppressed from the Device Manager (to prevent frequent changes to the script). User needs to click on Driver Details to get that information.
2. When you click on the Firadisk Virtual Disk Enumerator in Device Manager, you get an error message before you can continue.
3. When booted from a Firadisk iso, there will be a dummy cdrom RAM drive in addition to X:.
When a newer version of firadisk is released, please download and use the custom file or use the available 0.0.1.12 version included in script.
