Reinstalling The Diskonchip Image; On Your Diskonchip - Matrox 4Sight User Manual

68 Chapter 5: Managing the DiskOnChip
Reinstalling the DiskOnChip image on your
DiskOnChip
To (re)install the DiskOnChip image on your DiskOnChip, use
the appropriate image file from the \OS\WINNT directory of
the Matrox 4Sight CD. All the supported DiskOnChip sizes
have a corresponding DiskOnChip image file. The number in
the DiskOnChip image file name reflects the size of the
DiskOnChip for which the file was created.
Note: It is possible that single sectors or a group of sectors
will get corrupted while the remainder of the DiskOnChip
remains functional. If you can still boot from your
DiskOnChip and you have a local hard disk available, you
can boot under Embedded DOS, switch to the local hard drive
and skip ahead to step 3.
1. Create a formatted MS-DOS bootable floppy disk with the
MS-DOS system files on it.
2. Install a floppy drive on your Matrox 4Sight (see Chapter
6: Using the hard drive based Matrox 4Sight). Boot the
Matrox 4Sight unit with this floppy disk. Note that, the
floppy drive must be enabled in the BIOS. Also, note that
Matrox 4Sight cannot boot from a CD drive.
3. If a hard disk is available in the Matrox 4Sight unit and if
you have access to a previously copied DiskOnChip image
file on the hard disk (see Chapter 3: Managing the Matrox
4Sight under Windows NT Embedded), you can use the
previously copied file to reinstall the Windows NT
Embedded operating system (DiskOnChip image) from the
hard drive.
4. If you do not have access to an already copied DiskOnChip
image file on the hard disk, you will have to install a CD
drive in the Matrox 4Sight unit. Further, you will have to
install its associated MS-DOS CD-ROM driver with
Microsoft MSCDEX.EXE TSR utility from MS-DOS, which
should be copied onto the bootable floppy disk. Refer to the
Connecting IDE devices to install the CD drive.
