  • Verify that the run-time image boots on a standard hard drive.

  • Verify that all the required components are included in your configuration.

  • Be sure to use either the FAT or NTFS file system components.

  • Be sure to run BootPrep on the hard drive before you deploy your run-time image and before you run FBA.
