I currently am using an NI PXI machine for my LabView code. I'd like to also have the option of using it as a Real Time target. In hopes of doing this, I created another partition on the hard drive for installing the real-time software. However, when I boot from the USB Utility disk and select "fromat hard disk" I get three options: "1. Reformat the first RT-compatible partition on the drive", "2. Erase all partitions andcreate a single new partition." and "3. Cancel Format". There seems to be know way to select my newly-created partition for these purposes. If I select "1" I run the risk of losing my c:\ drive, or maybe the "Acronis" partition that came with the computer. Is there any way around this, or do I need to re-partition my hard drive so that the new partition is "before" the c:\ drive?
Incidently, most of the other menu options "1. Boot using software installed on the hard disk", "2. Boot into safe mode" etc. seem to cause the computer to hang. Any fixed for this?
My USB Utility disk was created with LabView 8.6 using MAX 4.5.0.
Thanks,
Doug
