real time help and install

[Mechatronics MAN]

i did reinstall the USB create thing many times

so with that in mind, how do I solve the "corrupt software?"

[tbob]

Re-install Windows.

ok now funny thing is i followed your steps, still same message

now what? so far you told me to reinstall windows, did that, still the same problem and issue, another way to solve this?

Is this a PXI RT Target?  The following two KnowledgeBase articles may be helpful.

i reformatted the hard drive because tbob told me too. so what are my options now i am really desperate!

Are you trying to install the LabVIEW Real Time O/S to this PC?  Where do you see this corrup disk error?  How are you formatting the disk at the moment?

On which computer are you getting the error booting from hard disk message.  This message can only have three causes:  corrupt software (fixed by re-install - this evidently is not the case), a bad hard drive (you probably could not even reinstall anything if the hard drive is bad), or a bad motherboard.  Is the problem on your RT system or your development system?  Which RT O/S are you using.  Which windows development O/S are you using?

What is USB Create?  Does that re-install the real time operating system on the target computer?
