Upgrading Mainboard in Lecroy DDA-3000 (aka WavePro 7300a?)

analogRF:
good question about replacing the embedded os with non embedded XP? I do have this question myself?


if you start with V6.8 it really should work, it did for me but my system had winxp on it to begin with...did you transfer the D: drive to the new drive? it's only cal data as I understand but maybe there is something else there that the scope needs? I never tried without copying that drive first.

still I would try to make an image/clone of the original hdd and see if it works...

It does now work with 6.x, I just installed that one again. Not sure how awake I was yesterday.

My original HD failed so cloning is not an option really...

I'll put together a packet with all the software here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gz5pbn4d98d980q/AAC1mgv4QijNTqCK_MtC9WZaa?dl=0

I did the following:

1. Install Win XP Pro 32bit via installation disc (I tried via USB for a long time without luck)
2. Install the Chipset Drivers
3. Install XStream, I first installed XStream, then the v6 Drivers which contain the Aladdin drivers, then the v8 drivers
4  Install the TouchDrivers. Set to: SC4 Serial, set com port *
5. Open the TouchDriver calibration and calibrate the screen

6. Split the disk into C: and D:  for the calibration files by adding a new partition on a Win10 system named "USERDATA", changing drive letter in XP to "D"
7. In XStreamDSO go to Utilities-> UtilitiesSetup -> Service and type in "9472" then click on the "Service" folder, "Aladin Aqu..." folder, "AutoCal", select all options and run auto cal. This should restore cal data and get rid of the no cal data error




* Lecroy hides the com port. To find it you have to:
Click Start>Run
Type cmd.exe in the textbox and click OK
Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit ENTER
Type cd\windows\system32 and hit ENTER
Type start devmgmt.msc and hit ENTER
When the device manager opens, click the View menu
Click Show Hidden Devices



I'm tempted to just share my cloned backup but with the windows license and everything I'm not sure the mods would be thrilled about that link :(
