Using the Image Configuration Editor
tool which comes with Windows Embedded Standard 7
, I'm creating an answer file to install on a Mini-ATX board whose main storage drive is a CF card.
While I'm able to load the Image Builder [again WES7]
on the device via USB, when the windows 7 setup reaches "select and format disk", the table is blank. The CF card does not show up as a valid device.
Using the command-line utility, I am able to run wmic logicaldisk get name
to find the device, of which I can then navigate to and explore the files, so the CF card is definitely working.
Are there known issues between Windows 7 and CF cards? Are there specific drivers that are needed to make it appear? While it is my first contact with the CF card, I'm performing an upgrade, as the CF card has been used to boot Windows XP for many years.
Thanks.
It was appearing as a removable disk and was connected via IDE. As described in your answer, the bootable windows USB drivers were the key. By plugging the CF card into the device via an USB adapter I was able to select the device as the target. Thanks! – BlackBox – 2014-05-16T21:47:07.583
