[QUOTE="BennieBoy, post: 255496, member: 12527"] Hi again, I have to say that I did not use the write filter. I did some tweaks to reduce the amount of writes to the USB-Stick. Works OK for 6 months now, so EWF is not really needed. I find the speed of MP OK. Not really sluggish. Maybe a bit slower than started from hard drive, but not bad at all. Another possibility I tried was starting MP from a network drive. Worked quite well without a real disadvantage. For this you have to tell .NET that MP may be started form this network drive, else you will get a security exception. I know there are issues with the Compact Flash which is identified as a removable drive, but I did not have a problem with that. I bought the cheapest I could find (19 euro for 2 Gbyte. You can buy a 4Gbyte for the same amount now). It is a 40speed version. 266x would be nicer, but not really needed. The USB-Stick however was seen as a removable device. With some registry tweaks, it is now recognized as a fixed drive. No SWAP space is used. Greetz, Ben [/QUOTE]
