--0-1732041080-1096640016=:61685 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello Everybody, I have installed QNX 4.5 in my new 'HP Presario 1115L' machine using QNX installation CD. I am facing the following problems. 1. I couldn't make a QNX boot floppy during the installation. Even if I had inserted a new floppy disk in the drive, it was asking me to insert a disk in the floppy drive (It was not detecting the floppy disk - so I aborted that). 2. After the installation I am not able to boot from the hard disk. (I am using LILO as the boot loader - The other 2 OSs are booting well). So I maid a QNX boot floppy from my friend's system and using that I am able to boot QNX in my system (Though the floppy drive was not detecting during the installation!!). 3. After booting QNX using the floppy, I am not able to mount any floppy disk using the mount comand. While trying that, getting the following error message: mount: mount() of /dev/fd0 failed: Input/Output error.(I maid sure that the Fsys.floppy is running.) (Even the fdformat & dinit commands are not working.) So what will be the problems? It will be a great help if anyone can give me a solution for these problems. (1. Not booting from the Harddisk. 2. Not able to use the Floppy drive) Thanking you all in advance Jens. (I am a beginner in QNX, but very curious on it) --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!
