Hi All,
When building windows CE 6.0 R3, i am facing a problem that USB storages
are not mounted. While debugging it found that When [HKLM\Init\BootVars]
Flags is set to 1, USB storages are mounted. But when Flags key set into 3,
USB storages are not mounted.
We used persistent storage to store hives. So it need to start storage
manager and device manager at boot phase 1 itself.

Need help on this. Thanks in Advance.

Regards
Karthik.K

Check your registry to be sure that the entries related to USB storage (the
storage class driver, the host controller driver) are wrapped in ; HIVE BOOT
SECTION / ; END HIVE BOOT SECTION

It seems that part of the configuration needed to load the USB
mass-storage driver (USB host driver, mass-storage USB class entry,
storage manager profile) is inside the hive boot registry and part isn't.
If you need the USB mass-storage device to load the hives, move
everything inside the hive boot section, if you don't need it, move
everything outside it.
