Tektronix TDS 7404 is not booting up . Looking for firmware image
geshka:
Hello gang.
Tek 7404 scope is not booting up anymore. After "Starting.... " progress bar it goes to the black screen and stays there forever. Just for testing purposes I disconnected hard drive and scope shows message "Operating system not found" so I assumed it might be bad HDD or damaged image on the HDD.
Where can I download that image? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

for the tds7k series, go at tektronix you still have the softwares to download and reinstall everything, but when its possible you backup everything, VXWorks (drivers, calcons etc ...) you have other folders etc ...
Could be hdd related, ram failures etc ... or OS related win2k or XP etc... when possible you try to find the motherboard you have ...

BUT you have to register for free to download
Was it fine before ?

Thanks a lot. I have downloaded this file. One thing, though, on installation instructions it states that I should run it from within scope itself. that implies that I have scope already booted and
running. Does it mean that I can boot scope with generic Windows 2K or XP and then run this install program ?
coromonadalix:
you have to know if the scope was in win 2k or xp
You need to install the OS part first, the scope at first will act as a computer, and after everything works (drivers included) you install the scope part (previous link)
i have backed up an 7254 at my job, but can not make an iso image sorry
i can / could provide some stuff
geshka:
Thanks coromonadalix
One more question - how to know what OS was there previously?
