Sinumerik 840C HDD is DRDOS 6.0 FAT16 formatted so don't even try to read it within Win7 or above, it will "destroy" the boot sectors and you'll get "No system disk" message. So only use WinXP or bellow from an old computer, having floppy unit and IDE fashion. Now you'll need the following IDE HDD or SSD disk Download DRDOS 6.0 kit from (WinWorld: DR DOS 6.x (winworldpc.com) and install the OS onto the HDD/ SSD. Use an old PC with floppy drive and IDE interface for the HDD. Now when the MSDOS 6.0 is on the HDD /SSD you better make a system floppy disk for future use, with prompt command C>SYS A: . With a MSDOS6.0 system floppy disk the procedure is as following: format c fat16 // the HDD is FAT16 formated under DRDOS6.0 environment fdisk c:\ active // partition C is declared active A> SYS C: // system disk copied from A to C, writing new boot sector copy the file lptdos.exe file on the HDD, it will let you transfer data over the parallel port with PC over WinCommander or TotalCommander (Net > PORT Connection To Other PC) under WinXP OS. Finally copy all SINUMERIK 840C folders and files over the new HDD. Remember, the folder MMC.001 contains the machine specific files. That is why when the machine is in good condition you must have a copy of the HDD folders and files. You can make it with PCLink or lptdos.exe and TotalCommander over the parallel port or simply dismantle the HDD and read it over USB to IDE interfece, but remember, only within WinXP (do nou use for this purpose the Win7 /8 /10 these OS will modify the boot sectors which must be DRDOS6.0 type) You may have made as many copies of HDD /SSD as you want, the only custom folder is the MMC.001, this is the one you'll have to add to customize the HDD for a specific machine. This is how a non customize / customize HDD looks like Uncustomize Customize BIN BIN BOOT BOOT DRDOS DOCS MMCSYS DRDOS OPTIONS DRIVERS TEST MMC.001 <<< this is machine specific folder TMP MMCSYS TOOLS OPTIONS TMP TOOLS |
