Appendix B: Windows 2000/XP Host PC Software Installation

Please follow the instructions here to install or reinstall the host software.
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with the EyeLink 1000 Host software
installation ensure you have backed up all important data on your Host PC.
The first step in preparing your Host PC for the EyeLink 1000 is to install the ROM-DOS
operating system that the EyeLink 1000 system runs on. This allows you to perform subject
setup, monitor performance, record data, and control experiments running on the Display PC.
At the same time, you will want to keep your existing operating system accessible so that you
can access your CDRW drive etc. when required. To achieve this, you will create a FAT32
partition on your hard drive using System Commander that will host the ROM-DOS OS
provided with your EyeLink 1000 system. System Commander will also be used to allow you to
choose which operating system you wish to launch when you start the Host PC.
