R&S FSP Spectrum Analyzer Win XP SP2?

Thanks, but I am still unable to mount the iso on Windows - ". . . insure the media uses a format which is recognized by Windows."

What program did you use to create the iso? I am still having problems installing macOS in VirtualBox (installation process keeps rebooting without installing). |O

Thanks

UPDATE -  I found an interesting link which suggested an "accident solution": if I use 7zip I can unzip the .iso file, which results in the 3 files 0.ntfs, 1.ntfs and 2.ntfs, obviously reflecting the 3 original partitions. Next, again using 7zip I can unzip the 3 .ntfs files and get as a result the original directory structure of each partition and all the files. So I should now be able to set up partitions on the new disk and copy the corresponding directories into them.  Hopefully, I will then be able to get the disk to boot. :phew:

OK, this is what I had a friend do:

* download my iso file
* write it on a flash drive using https://rufus.ie/ which creates a bootable flash drive
* boot on an older PC from there
* we see the attached screen (did not boot to the end)Can you reach this point? Friend also says to put on actual HDD he'd use - https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree
If this doesn't work I'll try and recreate the iso...

Yes, I also got that far, installing the hard disk into an old Acer Laptop. When I make either selection I get a blue screen error. I did not bother searching on the error code because I assumed it had to do with loading onto the wrong hardware.  When I install the hard disk into the FSP it is not recognized by BIOS. I tried using both hard disk and PATA SSD drive, but neither are recognized by BIOS. I am beginning to suspect a defective cable (or worse, defective IDE interface), although the old click of death drive gets recognized by BIOS, it just cannot boot.  I have ordered new cables and have to wait for them to arrive. :-BROKE Oh yeah, I also tried wiring the 40pins of the 44pin cable to a CD-Rom drive, and the BIOS recognized it and I can start the XP installation process with it, but I could not find any good 40pin IDE hard drives laying around that I could use to test. Not sure, but hard drives might use the IDE interface differently than CD-Rom drives, so the cable and/or interface are still suspect.

BIOS not recognizing the disks is weird. Write here if it turns out the culprit is the iso...

There are two variants of the FSP, the older one using a Pentium3/Celeron (FMR6) running Windows NT 4 (model no 1064.4495.xx) and the later variant (1164.4391.xx, has a front panel which has 'FSP' on the side left of the screen) coming with a Pentium-M/Celeron (FMR7) running Windows XP Embedded. The older variant can apparently be upgraded to running XP but this comes with a few problems and isn't recommended.

Please help if you can. I have an FSP30 with product number 1093.4495.39. The CPU board inside is marked FMR5P.9368.063/4. Since the product number is xxxx.4495.xx and the FMR5 is lower than FMR6, does that mean that I should have Windows NT4 on the disk (disk is unrepairably broken). I received an image of the XP version from ivaylo but am having difficulties loading it.

Thank your for any help.
