argh    there was some  cd's  with no boot sectors

You had to boot with floppies instead,    with UltraIso, you can extract the boot sector and integrate it to another iso disc, to make it bootable

I did it for oldies like win95 win98   etc ... to get rid of the darn floppies  loll


thats why i told you about a normal Xp installation,   when its possible   you   extract  the equipment backup / clone  image(s)  windows / system  folder location and put it into an usb key, and most of the time when windows need the drivers  you make it search the usb key for the drivers

Drivers come with inf,  cat,  dll's,  and other files,  backing up  "system" folder can help recover an unit  before it crash  ...

Hi Ok, I now will go for the windows XP build, I have copied the micro Flash card and have the drivers etc.  But for some reason with my USB DVD rom drive I don't seem to be abable to start the CDROM.  Get the " Boot from CD :

I am sure previously I was able to boot using a XP build disc.

See screenshot

I am one who doesn't want to give up and put the FSP40 in the skip.

normally at this message you have to push a keyboard   "enter"    to start installation,   i never found a way to get over this ??  but never done  a good search for this problem

Some talk here about this :
https://superuser.com/questions/490532/can-i-boot-format-and-install-windows-xp-without-a-keyboard

You can add an powered usb hub,  with your external cd-rom and a keyboard, and a mouse, some of them will work at boot ....   some mouse too

Microsoft keyboards and mouse usually work the best   .... at bios level   BUT    be sure you have keyboard enabled in the bios  ....

Not sure if this machine has  ps2 keyboard and or mouse plug(s)

Do not desperate, it can take time ....    to get it right


Check if your bios  has the option to boot from cd-rom,   but it seems to work already   from you photo

Hi coromonadalix

I have good news, my FSP40, has windows XP on a SATA drive I installed.  The Flash card installed was only 32MB and I thought as I had a spare SATA I would install that.

So it boots into windows I have a couple of hardware errors mainly connected with the motherboard inside.  I have a copy of the orginal flashcard with a C and a D drive.  But I am not sure how I install the R & S user interface for the SA.  Any advice on this part.

See attached photos.

Regards


Paul
