Oh oh. I've actually been looking forward to the day when someone would finally ask this question of someone.
Dan: There is only one version that has a chance in hell of booting W7: 0.4 and that's the last one I uploaded. Have you not been following this thread?

Just wrote a "tiny7" installation ISO to the boot stick and replace the ZIF with an SSD USB stick. Started but graphics are looking a bit wierd; but I see them anyways.

Just finding the slimmed win 7 in my archives, then will proceed with pwboot, onto a 250gb usb hard drive. its quite fast too this drive, around 40mbps, so should run ok!
Fullscreen squeezeplay windows, server 2003, foshiz mini v1 and v2, (and a few broken builds) :P so far.....
more to come!!
The only time I have managed to get things booted fully was on a PWBooted HDD that had already been fully installed and booted to the desktop first on another machine.. My first attempt was with the USB keyboard/trackpad. No boot, getting as far as disk.sys in safe mode. Without the keyboard plugged in, it boots as far as the 'please wait', much further. I'm leaving it for a while as there are intermittent disk access flashes.

I think we're all stuck on the same problem here. I'm looking into it.

Tiny7 has no tablet pc stuff in it so touchscreen probably won't work
Just trying an install onto the pata ssd, so far its going OK. (FINGERS CROSSED)
Well giving it another few more minutes, itdid get to the desktop, however it failed to create the desktop, start the server services and no page file, probably due to the 'size' of the vanilla Win7 I'm using, no slimming. Oh, no warm boot either. Is that last item due to acpi?
Yes; so removed the SSD drive from the Asus Netbook. (Originally just disabled it but easy to take out).
Connected the USB ZIF drive to it and booting right now with the fully loaded do all W7 configuration disk.
Will build it on this Asus connected ZIF drive then copy over the boot disk to a directory on the same ZIF drive and try that while inaxeon looks at the "issue".

PATA is where it's at. My Joggler is working awesome from PATA. Not to rub it in or anything but I even ran the full install process onto PATA - no problems at all.
The ribbon cable supplied with that would be useless though. You need a flat cable, that one is a rollover.
mickchip: Your input here? I'm using ribbon cables I already had. Where did you get your ribbon cable. Did you use a top contact or bottom contact FPC connector?
