If i remember correctly EWF relies on an additional partition.

If i remember correctly EWF relies on an additional partition. Seems
that Ghost didn't store that. I don't know if post-deployment EWF
maintenance tools are capable of doing this or if you could add this
partition manually. Try to look up the manual for EWF partition.

I don't think so... use 'rundll32 ewfdll.

I don't think so... use 'rundll32 ewfdll.dll ConfigureEwf' to recreate
the EWF volume.

If you want to clone/backup the system again be sure to save the whole
hdd (physically - with partition table) or at least with both partitions.

Quote from manual:

Failed setting protected volume configuration with error 31

I purchased an industrial PC with an XPe image running with EWF RAM. I
made some tweaks to it (changed the shell app, desktop wall paper,
user accounts etc.) and then ghosted the image (EWF was still working
before the ghost). After I deployed the ghosted image, the EWF volume
was not found, and after search the newsgroup I found that after
running "RUNDLL32 ewfdll.dll ConfigureEwf Start" EWF would start.
However, when I try to enable it I get the error in the subject line.
I don't have the original image any longer and would like to get the
ewf running properly from the point I am at now.

Here is the output from ewfmgr.....

A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Does anyone have any advice regarding what I need to do to make it
work?

Its been my understanding that a RAM ewf partition is used for fba
only. After that it no longer used. If there are any other thoughts
please post.
thanks

thank you.... I ultimately needed to use etprep to delete the existing
ewf partition, then I was able to recreate it with rundll32...
