Hello,
We have a system that is real-time compliant, as said so by the pceval software that NI has on their website, that will not boot into real-time OS from the hard drive. It can boot into RTOS with the floppy boot disk, but for some reason it can not do it from the hard drive alone. We made a format hard drive disk and run it and it says that it succussfully installs the files and tell us to reboot. When we do so the system has a short blinking line and just sits there, almost like the system is being haulted. We have formatted the hard drive many times using the format hard drive disk and we have even tried other floppies thinking that the disk was bad. We don't understand why it could boot into the RTOS from the floppy but not from the hard drive itself. The only thing I can think of is that the disk isn't writing the right MBR to the hard drive and it's not getting directions to boot. I have been working on this for quite some time, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Michael
