How can I create a flash USB RT boot device?

Hi. I have a PXI 8174 controller and I know it's not supposed to run RT because it doesn't have a floppy drive. However I know that 8171 controllers can be set up to boot from an USB flash device.
My question is, how can I make an RT-boot flash device? In MAX it seems easy to build a RT-boot floppy drive, but I don't have a floppy drive by now. I tryed inserting my USB flash device and changing its letter to "A:", but MAX doesn't seem to recognize it as a floppy.
An alternative could be to boot from an USB CDROM, but the same problem arises: how to build the RT-boot CD.
I really need this controller to run LV-RT.
Thank you
Daniel R.
PD: I'm using LV-RT 7.1.1

Hi, James, thank you for your post.
I have done some tests and yes, the controller supports booting from USB device.
The problem is how to make the flash disk RT-bootable. I've come to create a RT-boot floppy, copy the contents to the USB device and transfer the boot sector from the floppy to the USB device, but it didn't work out. I even edited the boot sector but nothing.
In this point I gave out because I spent too much time, but I think that there's still a little hope of making it work.
Now I wander if I plug an USB floppy drive (I suppose it exists) and boot from a floppy disk would work. But I really don't know.
Any comments appreciated.
Please excuse my english.
Daniel R.

    What is the capacity of the flash drive?
    You might also be able to reinstall Lion without a flash drive, by booting up the computer holding the Command + R keys, and choosing Reinstall OS X.

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

  • How can I create a flash picture slideshow for 3 images

    Hi. I am wondering if anybody can tell me how to create a picture PUSH. I have three images that I wish to work with. By pushing I mean having an image come in from the left (or right) and place itself on top of the other (or pushing the other out of view). Like a slide show of three images scrolling along but one stops for a brief period before the other image comes into view.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    If you're using USB to connect your computer to Personal Hotspot and can't connect to the Internet, check your computer's network settings. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the USB Ethernet interface.
    Select your operating system for instructions.
    Mac OS X
    Go to System Preferences > Network.
    Select the Ethernet adapter.
    Click the gear icon and choose Make Service Inactive.
    Choose Make Service Active.

  • How can I create a flash .flv file?

    I am going to deliver 12 ultrashort films (about 1 min. each) in flv format.
    How do I do that?
    I dont have Flash but there seems to be some cheaper converters that can be used - however I wonder if they will produce a quality that is good enough.
    And are any of them better than others?
    Thanks for any clues.
    Ulla

    Thanks but it's not a web design issue.  I has to do with the security settings on Wiki 3.  I had to disable the FiltersEnable function to get Flash embeded.

  • How can I create a Lion USB Thumb Drive with the 11E2068 build?

    It seems that the Lion build from the Mac App Store is not compatible with my Macbook Pro Retina 15''. It's seems I would need the the build 11E2068 for my USB thumb drive to work properly.
    I don't want to go through the internet recovery and loose 8 hours.
    Is there anyway for my to get that build(11E2068) on my USB thumb drive?
    Thanks,

    keg55's given you article that allows you to capture the installer. These are the critical portions:
    Once that data has been downloaded, Lion Recovery restarts your Mac, immediately installs the OS, and then deletes the installer data. The trick is to interrupt that process—safely—so you can grab the installer data and keep it. Here are the steps to take:
    IMO, Apple needs to rethink this process. Unless users with machines that had Lion preinstalled, like yourself, let Apple know this process is terrible, they'll not change their minds.
    7.  IMPORTANT: Monitor the download’s progress. As the progress bar gets near the end, get ready, because once the status reads About 0 seconds remaining, the progress bar will disappear, the installer will spend a minute or two cleaning up, and then your Mac will restart. As soon as the screen goes dark, unplug your external drive. If you wait too long, your Mac will boot into the Mac OS X installer on that drive, starting the installation process. Interrupting that process can leave your Mac unable to install OS X unless you restart it and—I’m not joking—zap PRAM.

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

  • How can i create a Trash for external USB Drives ?

    Hello,
    how can i create a Trash for external USB Drives or my TimeCapsule ?
    Thanks.

    You do not need to create trash cans for individual drives.  The trash can on the desktop holds deleted files from all mounted drives.
    TimeCapsule manages its own space.  If it fills up it will delete older backps to make space for newer ones.

  • How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?

    How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?
    I am attempting to create multiple live USBs within one flashdrive so that i can boot various operating systems without having to buy multiple USb sticks. I am using a Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Operating System currently. I am using the Terminal provided by the OS.
    I would like to try Debian, Kali, Precise Puppy, and Sabayon- with one space left empty for whatever Linux OS I would like to try next. I have partitioned an 8GB flashdrive into the following sections:
    name of intended OS,     space allocated for it:
    1)Debian ........................1.32 GB
    2)Kali..............................2.61GB
    3)Precise Puppy..............163.7MB
    4)Sabayon.......................1.77GB
    5)TBD..............................2.14GB
    I have figured out how to change the .iso files of the operating systems into .img files with the following commands:
    hdiutil convert -format UDRW /path/to/input.iso -o /path/to/output.img
    a .img.dmg file is created, this is corrected in the next line of code *please note: I am a a very beginner at programming, and would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!
    mv /path/to/output/file.img{.dmg,}
    This is where I started to get confused:
    I entered diskutil list to find the location of the partitions on my flashdrive, and this is the relevant section:
    /dev/disk1
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *8.0 GB     disk1
       1:                 DOS_FAT_32 DEBIAN               1.3 GB     disk1s1
       2:                 DOS_FAT_32 KALI                    2.6 GB     disk1s2
       3:                 DOS_FAT_32 PRECISE            163.7 MB   disk1s3
       4:                 DOS_FAT_32 SABAYON           1.8 GB     disk1s5
       5:                 DOS_FAT_32 TBD                     2.1 GB     disk1s6
    This is the code I attempted to use and the subsequent result:
    charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m
    dd: /dev/disk1s1: Resource busy
    *at this point I went to the Disk Utility GUi and unmounted only the DEBIAN partition, now back to the terminal*
    charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m

    1258+1 records out

    Please may someone help explain why I had a return value of +1 in my records in and how I can make it work properly.

    I would like to know the answer to this as well.  I tried renaming the 3D version by adding 3D after it, but it still not a separate movie in iTunes.
