Thanks again Sean.
I had already "rushed out" and got a 512M stick of memory.
This need was eveident when I looked at the VM problem when ngening in FBA
of .NET. the ngen was failing because of lack of memory/virtual memory.
Q Is there a way of setting/increasing VM during FBA?
I had uped the VM settings for my image but I assume these don't apply in FBA.
I was toying with whether ti try RAM REG for EWF as opposed to RAM EWF.
I'll give this a try.
RAM Size and Disk size( when small) are competing items with HORM. You have
to have enough disk space for hiberfile.sys= size of RAM. So for a small
disk (eg Flashdisk) you want the RAM to be as small as the system will allow.
