Hi Experts,
I have an SBC(Single Board Computer) with a set of pheripherals ports
available on it(such as Seial port, VGA port, PS2 port) along with
IDE Flash Drive of 64 MB made from ICP. Target board Boots with this
IDE Flash Drive only.
I took one more new IDE Flash Drive of 64 MB made of ICP. I connected
to Host system running with QNX with a different hard disk.
I used dd command to copy the contents of original source IDE Flash
Drive to New IDE Flash Drive using ‘dd’ command.
I disconnected the IDE Flash Drives from Host., and Connencted the New
IDE Flash Drive to my target board and its booting and working same as
the original IDE Flash Drive. Till this part verything is fine. My
problem is:
I took a new IDE Flash Drive of 128 MB from a different manufacturer(I
mean its not made of ICP) and I tried to apply the same procedure
explained above.
When I try to Boot the target system with this newly copied IDE Flash
Drive (128MB ) The message I get is “Missing Operating
System”.
I searched for resolution on this issue in newsgroups. I applied
almost
all they suggested. Still I am getting the same error message.
Steps what I did is as follows: My source drive mount point is
/hdold.
- created partition on new disk same as the original using fdisk with
loader nad boot options.
fdisk /dev/hd1 add -b
fdisk /dev/hd1 loader
-
run the dinit on the newly created partition.
dinit -h /dev/hd1t77 -
mounted the partition
mount /dev/hd1t77 /hdnew -
Copied the entire contents of the source driver to destination
drive
cp /hdold/.boot /hdnew/.boot
cp /hdold/.altboot /hdnew/.altboot
cp -vpRX /hdold /hdnew
*** I used the commands perfectly as mentioned in the groups for doing
so*********
Still I am getting the same error message.
