System:
EBOX 4300
VIA Eden ULV 500MHz
512MB DDR2
PXE diskless boot
10/100Mbps LAN
Compact Flash card
USB V2.0 ports x 3 (2 at the front)
Wireless LAN (optional)

I tried to install winxp on an ebox 4300 using a flash drive and wintoflash but it keeps assigning the OS partition the drive letter D instead of C, but it does install ok and runs fine.

So I tried flashboot instead and this fails to copy some files during the setup.

So I tried rufus and this gets as far as the copying file stage but when it restarts i get "disk error press any key to restart.

I then decided to try installing ubuntu and this just hangs during the installation.

It sounds like the HDD or flash drive or winxp is corrupt/damaged but it cant be because it successfully installed with wintoflash.

Ive spent 17 hours on this and its doing my f head in, id appreciate any help. thanks.
