Currently Playing: Inside Windows XP Embedded – Creating a Custom Install from Zero

I set out to restore an IGEL thin client, a compact PC originally running Windows XP Embedded, which failed to boot. Unable to obtain an original boot image, I had no other choice than rebuilding Windows XP Embedded from scratch. This led me down a deep rabbit hole of capturing hardware profiles, injecting drivers, and troubleshooting missing boot components in order to get past the dreaded INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE blue screen! 00:00 Intro 00:45 IGEL Technology IGEL-3610 XP Thin Client 02:46 Either, or: Compact Flash or Disk-on-Module 03:22 Would it run DOS? 03:37 Running "vanilla" Windows XP 04:07 Installing Windows XP Embedded Studio 05:17 Building a Windows XP Embedded Image 05:49 Importing Hardware Profiles and Drivers 08:05 NTLDR Missing in XP Embedded SP1 08:34 Transferring XPe Images to Boot Media 09:49 Hardware Profiles revisited 12:54 Adding & Removing XPe Features 13:25 Fixing the Broken Video Driver 14:51 Adding Custom User Accounts 15:38 Reviving the Flash Disk-on-Module 16:27 Conclusion 17:14 Next on TPC / Outro To support TPC, check out all my options on https://www.youtube.com/@THEPHINTAGECOLLECTOR/join This video was made possible with support by: THE PHINTAGE ENTHUSIASTS: Alisha Manuela Stutz @alishamanuelastutz Christian Zerrahn @JARVIS1187 David Shell @TheMinocula Waseem al sammane @wsammane THE PHINTAGE SUPPORTERS: HMK @hmichaelkraut7968 John DiLiberto @JohnMDiLiberto Jack Rosenthal @JackRosenthal1 Luge Granger-Brown @luke_gb Matthew Veety @MatthewVeety MS-DOS Manfred @msdosm4nfred Steven Glogger @sglogger xcalibur839 @xcalibur839 Z098 @Z098 Visit also THE PHINTAGE COLLECTOR website at https://www.thephintagecollector.ch for insights into my retro computer collection.
