Write Image to 4gb CF Problems

Post by mds »

In the process of converting to x86 platform. Just got the ebox 4300 and 4 gb CF. Been trying to write image 3,3 to CF using disk image on windows. Each time get an error:dry:
Not sure what to try from this point.
Any suggestions?

If I have understood correctly you are trying to write the image direct to the CF?

I think the usual process is to write the image to a USB stick, then boot from that stick to install Meteohub on to the CF? My experience is with the ALIX 1D, but I think that in this respect the eBox is the same?

Here's a quote from page 15 of the English version of the current documentation
Meteohub installation makes use of a bootable USB stick (minimum capacity 512 MB) that transfers necessary data to CF card of ebox or ALIX or to SSD of Fit-PC Slim

Just for giggles - I tried the write image on a different windoze machine (non-vista) and it worked fine. Guess I really need to start using a more stable OS like Linix;) . Thanks Now itis off to continue the set-up and conversion.

I have another report here, that has problems with diskimage on vista. i will look into this.

Please use non-Vista environments so far.
