xPC Target

Troubleshooting the Boot Process

Possible problem -- When booting the target PC, it might display the message

• xPC Target 2.0 loading kernel..@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
  

The target PC displays this message when it cannot read and load the kernel from the target boot disk. The probable cause is a bad disk.

Solution -- Reformat the disk or use a new formatted floppy disk and create a new target boot disk.

Possible problem -- When booting the target PC, you get a message similar to the following

• Not a bootable medium or NTLDR is missing 
  

This message can be caused by selecting either the DOSLoader or StandAlone mode instead of the BootFloppy mode.

Solution -- Open the xPC Target Setup dialog box. In the MATLAB Command Window, type xpcsetup, and from the TargetBoot list, select Bootfloppy. Update the environment properties and then create a new boot floppy disk.
