Format the Compact Flash and configure the Compact Flash to boot to DOS.
Note:
Consult user document for the version of DOS you are using to accomplish the following:
-
Create a DOS partition (using the Fdisk utility)
-
Format the partition and configure the partition to boot to DOS (using the Format utility)
If the VDX-6326 SBC is still able to boot to DOS from the Compact Flash, it’s not needed to format
the Compact Flash. Instead, use the bootable USB flash as the transport mechanism to copy files
from the jump start CD to the Compact Flash, overwritten the corrupted file.
Note:
With the USB emulation configured as hard drive from the BIOS, the USB flash storage boot to DOS as
drive C with drive D assigned to the Compact Flash.
If the USB flash storage is emulated as the floppy drive and become drive A: after booting to DOS, the
drive letter C: will be assigned to the Compact Flash.
•
Copy the following files from the USB flash storage to the Compact Flash:
o
Autoexec.bat
o
Config.sys
o
Eboot.bin
o
Loadcepc.exe
o
Nk.bin
Note:
In addition to the above files, you also need to copy the Himem.sys for the version of DOS you are using
(DOS 6.22 or Windows 98 DOS).
If the flash storage is formatted to boot to Win98 DOS, you need to use the Himem.sys from Win98 DOS.
The Himem.sys file is not needed by Windows Millennium DOS. When the flash storage is configured to
boot to Windows Millennium DOS, edit the Config.sys file with a text editor and remove the line
associates with Himem.sys.
Remove the USB flash storage and reboot the VDX-6326 SBC. Immediately after power reset, press
the “Del” key to enter BIOS configuration and navigate to the Boot Settings menu to configure the
Boot Device Priority to configure the IDE device as the 1
st
boot device.
Note:
If the Compact flash is recovered with a different version of DOS, the Config.sys (DOS startup
configuration file) may need to be modified to meet the particular requirement for the version of DOS
being used.
