Hi,

Could you provide some more information on the configuration of windows, partition types etc.
Also how are you installing RTP?

The more information you provide the greater the chances of finding a resolution to your problem.

Hi,Joe

1st. thax for ur Re.

i’am afraid ican’t say it clearly, anyway i try.

There have been 3 different OS on my 2 HDs (Quantum Fireball 6.4GB & WD
500MB)

before this century.

At that time year 2000, my 2 HDs have been partitioned into 2 kinds of
filesystem,

one was for win98 the other was for linux. 500MB WD fixed disk was a part of
DOS

logic partition, the space has been used to install QNX RTP.

The primary partition C has been installed with win98

linux was in good health

unfortunately, by PattitionMagic 5.0 i have had my patitions resized, and
then the

whole system fall into strange condition.

finaly i have had to Fdisk my C and installed winME

o’cause the lilo and QNX start menu was gone.

so the problem i’ve post was come.

BTW:

1, before i fidk my C, i’ve re-installed QNX several times.

2, linux cant be installed also

3, i download the RTM .exe and try installing it under winME

Hi,

If you are trying to install QNX RTP using the windows installer on a WinMe machine you
will run into problems.

  1. If you installed WinME using NTFS partition you will not be able to install RTP
    on that partition.

  2. If you installed WinME with a FAT partition QNX RTP will install, but you will need
    to use a boot floppy to boot into RTP. This is because WinME does not have a
    config.sys which QNX uses to create a boot menu.

If you do not want to use a boot floppy to get into RTP then you must install RTP onto a separtate
partition. To do this boot off the RTP CD and follow the install instructions.

Hi joe

it is so kind of u

even my Englis is so poor

but could u give me a favor to expain

what is a “separtate” partition?

is it a partition without any filesystem

just like NTFS,FAT of efs2 etc.?

however, i have no QNX CD and i cant’t

buy it in China mainland.

i can only download a package of QNX

self-extractor program,and there are almost

no instructions but “next” buttons during the

installing progress.

is a floopy disk can do the same works like

a RTP CD?

if it is, how can i make it?

thax in advanced

Hi,

What I mean by a separate partition is a partition which is created by QNX on install from the RTP
CD. If you are using the Windows self-installing package then this is not possible, you must
install in you Windows FAT partition.

You have a few options:

  1. If you installed WinME on a FAT partition, you can create a boot floppy during the QNX installation
    or after (option is in start menu->Programs->QNX Realtime Platform->Make RTP boot Floppy).
    You can use this floppy to boot into QNX RTP. (Insert floppy, turn on Machine).
    If you installed WinME on a NTFS partition QNX RTP will not work.

  2. If you have access to a CD writter, you can download the RTP CD-ROM image, and create the RTP CD.
    You can then boot off of the RTP CD. The RTP install will start and you can create a QNX
    partition and install.

  3. You could also place an order through the QNX website http://get.qnx.com/ for a QNX RTP CD
    (credit card required) and the CD would get shipped out to you.


    I hope this information is helpful to you.
