The PXI 8106 doesn't boot to DOS. Writes: No ethernet driver...

[oldrich.hamernik@trw.com]

Hello,

I had an error during update driver on PXI via MAX. Now when I have connected monitor to PXI I see, that PXI doesn't boot. In Labview RT mode still rebooting in Labview RT Safemode stops and writes No ethernet driver found or WSOCK32.dll corrupted. How can I repair the PXI when I can't communicated via LAN and MAX from host PC? I use to run in DOS on PXI (no Windows installed)

Dear Oldrich,

I think the easiest way to solve this issue would be formatting the controller.

You can find the instructions here:

Hello,

thank you very much for your support. I have disk formated now. But when I try to boot with now, the fatal error 146080 is displayed, see attachment. Please do you know what to do? I have tried to update BIOS to ver 1.4.0 but with no result.

Kind regards

Hi,

this is most probably caused by improper version of the boot disc.

I encounter this problem too. Upgrade BIOS do not any help, it may be some problem concern to the HDD or the Software.

I Remove the HDD in the PXI and Attach to my PC,Using partition wizard format the whole HDD to one FAT32 partition.and attcach back to PXI.

DO NOT LEAVE ANY UNUSED SPACE !!! USE THE RESIZE FUNCTION TO MAKE THE PARTITION EXPAND TO WHOLE HARDDISK !!!

It seems that could slove this problem, I hope it helps to you.

here is the link to partition wizard, the free home edition is enough.

I think any other disk tools should works too.
