first of all, thank you very much for this great software. I am actually writing these lines from a USB booted, perfectly working XP installation.
I am trying to build a small home server which should be able to enter standby for longer periods of time. However, neither shutdown nor standby are working for me. The shutdown / standby screen comes up, mouse is still working but the PSU is not powered off.
I am booting from a CF card inserted in a USB card reader. My platform is a dual core atom D510MO. All respective drivers within Windows are installed correctly. According to powercfg, standby modes S1 and S3 are available.

Within your installation routine I first enabled pagefile support, due to the reported problems I disabled it manually according to http://www.usboot.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?topics_offset=1&forumId=1&comments_parentId=272 afterwards. I also reinstalled driveguard (phase-0) within the USB installation similiar to

One interesting thing is the activity LED of my card reader which in case of entering standby goes off, in case of trying to shut down stays on. Can there be a timing problem with respect to the order things are turned off during shutdown similar to http://www.usboot.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=1944&topics_offset=25&topics_sort_mode=lastPost_desc&forumId=1?
Do you have any further suggestions?
Schon einmal vielen Dank im Voraus!
