[QUOTE="BennieBoy, post: 255337, member: 12527"] Hi again, Eventually I went another way with my diskless system. Actually, it is not really diskless, but on the other hand, there is no disk in it either :-) My MP Client system is a USB bootable system which, as I already revealed, boots from a USB disk (in my case, a USB-Stick). The USB stick is formatted as an NTFS drive and I installed a tweaked XP on it (to make XP USB-Bootable). How to make this tweaked XP can be found here ([url=http://www.ngine.de/index.jsp?pageid=4176])Ngine.de - Welcome[/url]. However, this tweaked XP is only working from a USB hard disk. I had to install 2 USBXXXX.sys files from XPe to get things working. The USB stick I'm using is the cheapest I could find and 2 Gbyte was enough to get things going. However, 4Gbyte would be a bit more pleasant. This system runs since November 2007, so it seems to be OK. As a backend I have a PC which acts as my server. This server contains the TV-Cards and Satellite card (last one not connected since I moved into my new home). Works quite nice after I installed the TV-Server build of April 4th. The server is located in place far, far away ... :-) The next solution I am going to try is a MP HTPC system booting from a Compact flash card. I already have a Compact flash card bootable Multimedia System in my bedroom, but it is old hardware and with the build in graphic card and a duron 900 not the fastest system. But then again, it boots in 1 minute and 15 seconds so .... Workable. Booting from a compact flash card has the advantage that you do not have to tweak XP. I just bought 3 compact flash card to IDE converters from eBay for less than 3 euros each (transport was more expensive). So, experimentation can begin. Greetz, Ben [/QUOTE]
