    how to download makeCF Utility

    Hi,
    I want to write System files in window CE Compact flash card so that it
    boots from CF flash. The files are
    1.Configuration file: bootcepc.cnf
    2. Boot logo .pcx file: bootcepc.pcx
    3. Kernel Image file (nk.bin)

    To write i have just copied file's by copy and paste in Flash but it doesn't
    work and i am getting error like "Boot failure" . I heard about a utility
    named (makeCFUtility) used to write in Flash. But i don't know how to
    download this utility.

    Is there is any other way to write system files in Flash card.

    I am using Advantech single board (PCM-3370 F) with 128 MB RAM . The OS used
    is Window CE 5.0.

    Re: how to download makeCF Utility

    You can create a bootable flash card just like a usb drive, or dvd. there are articles written debating how to do it, but it's easier with Vista+.

    Basically instead of copy, use xcopy with a few flags to copy the boot files.
