Using Compact Flash (CF) With the Enhanced Write Filter (EWF)
Overview One of the benefits of using Microsoft Windows XP Embedded is the ability to create devices that boot to Compact Flash (CF). There are many advantages to using CF, most notably creating solid-state devices. These devices are usually more reliable as they have no moving parts. The downside of using CF is that it has a limit to the number of times one can write to a storage location. Over time, the CF media will fail. The Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) provides a way of protecting the underlying volume from writes. This paper will describe a means for building a Windows XP Embedded image and deploying it to CF with EWF enabled.
