This link below, which I found via searching, may be useful.

Be careful about replacing Winlogon with Minlogon if you intend to use the PC in a networked environment. My advice is don't do it unless you absolutely know what you are doing and understand the consequences.And an easy way to avoid Windows File Protection errors if you do want to use Minlogon is to replace not just the copy in the windows directory but also the "safe" copy (best to search for all occurences and replace all of them). You need to do this after booting Windows in "Safe" mode.
Finally - a warning when using the hibernate once reboot many feature. Many pro audio soundcard drivers (unfortunately, including mine) don't support hibernation.
You should be able to get EWF working reasonably easily. If in doubt, try to get it working on a normal (non flash) hard drive first. Once you are confident (and you can turn writebacks on and off with no problems), then follow the instructions to create a bootable flash drive.
I use a 4GB compact flash card with a flash to IDE bridge, so I don't have to do anything special (most flash readers mark the media as "removable" which creates issues with installing XP - there are various ways of getting around this - easiest is to install on a normal hard disk, then image copy to a "removable" flash drive).
Good luck! The reward is you may find that your system sounds much better when you take out the hard disk. Mine sounded noticeably "cleaner" and more "dynamic" (previously I was using a laptop hard disk).
Thanks for the added info C,I am already a bit confused.
THe nice link refers to a trial version, but it is only good for 120 days. Is it good enough to just use it once, or do I need to buy something?
... however, all you need is the EWF driver (I think it's on 3 files which you need to extract).The driver itself, once you install on normal Windows XP, does not carry any time limitation.
Let me know via email if you get really stuck trying to extract the files, I can probably help you out there.
THat is such a nice offer, one I hope I don't need to take you up on :).
THANKS.When I did use google, it only took me to Microsoft sites, and they were useless.
