The original hd has a serious case of the clicking death... That's why I have to reinstall.
I attached a 500gb hd on the sata1 port. When I used an alternative cd drive, I attached that one on the sata1 just to see if I would get anything. I do not have another IDE cd drive. I would have another IDE hd to test but I dont see how that would help at this stage.

Maybe I burn another set of xp cds.

However I find it strange that with the original IDE cd drive, the win xp setup fails without any error at all (new never opened disks) and the win 2000 installation at least reports an error...

Strange. Windows. I love it ^^

despite the hdd being noisy and about to die, does the scope boot and work with that hard drive? if it does, just make an image on a ssd
you need to back up and transfer your cal data from D drive anyways, I think.

Hmm it clicked loudly and did not boot. So I assumend it was dead. I have to grab an IDE converter tomorrow and see if my pc can get anything.

So... I installed the chipset and lan drivers from here: https://drivers.eu/Mainboards/INTEL/D865GLC since they are not available elswhere.
Then I installed the XStream-DSO Drives and the XStream software for XP from here: https://teledynelecroy.com/support/softwaredownload/documents.aspx?sc=17 by selecting the DDA-3xxx dda-5xxx option corresponding to my DDA-5005.

The problem is that there seems to be a missing file in the XStreamDrive installation, more specifically the "Multifunction Device" is not found (see picture).
Then when I start XStream it says no hardware detected, not allowed to run...


Edit: I Did a complete reinstallation. The "Multifunction Device" is still not found but it is allowed to run now. However, it is in a kind of demo mode with demo waveforms. The serial number is also not correct.

There's the XStream software pack, then there's an additional aladdin driver pack, and I believe the order is supposed to be that way.  If you go into the device manager you should be able to update drivers for unknown devices, and windows may auto-find the installed driver.  It has been finicky for me before, but I'm not entirely sure why.  With my last install, one of the drivers in the pack didn't seem to install on its own, but process of elimination forcing it to install on the remaining unknown device worked fine.  I also think the printer driver needs to be installed after everything, if you have it, since the printer connection is through the PCI card, so you need the card's drivers to be in place for it to even be found.

There's also the chance something is actually wrong with it.  Communication errors generally show up in the bottom notification box, but you can get more detail as to what is going on through the service menu or the xstream browser (I think that's what it's called) that will give you some additional configuration and diagnostic information that you can normally find through remote control commands.


BTW, "burning" a CD ISO to a USB key will never be bootable (unless they've expanded options now), a bootable USB needs a boot sector setup closer to a floppy disk than a CD drive, so there's a format difference that prevents just a CD ISO from doing the job.  I think the official method for XP on a USB key was something like taking the full install, the boot sector from a bootable floppy, then using a tool to build the USB key from that.... hard to remember the details as it's been like 15 years :p

Hmm, I did notice any aladdin driver install. Is that supposed to be on the Lecroy driver install?

But it does look like this is the problem. The multifunctional device showing up in device manager identifies as a aladdin_aquisition_dev
Connected to the internet, drivers are not found automatically and I have not found much by searching manually. Maybe someone has the driver saved?
