Software controller on Microbox 427D

Good afternoon gentlemen,

I am asking for an advice with installation of SW controller 1507F on Microbox427D.

As mentioned in manual S7-1500 Software Controller, ..., CPU 1507S (F), ..., Version 20.8 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, following settings are met:

• MBR partition system,
• NTFS,
• 500MB of unpartitioned space on C:\ drive,
• restore mode disabled,
• bitlocker on C,D disabled
• CPU @1.6GHz
• 4Gb RAM
• Core i3
• W10 ENT LTSB 2016, x64
• Admin account
• DiagBase v02010300 installed
• UWF disabled

BIOS:

• Legacy BOOT
• NVRAM enabled
• C,P-states DISABLED

Every time when I am trying to go through install process popup window appears and says:

The installation cannot continue. One of the following requirements has to be met to conclude the installation:

• At least 401 MB unoccupied space on the boot disk.
• At least 401 MB free unoccupied space on the extended partition of the boot disk.
• An unecrypted D: drive on the boot disk with at least 450 MB free space.

Refer to the manual "SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller, CPU 1505SP (F),

CPU 1507S (F), CPU 1508S (F)" for more information.

Any tips & tricks? Recommendations?

Many thanks for support.

Martin

hello,

can you provide a screen of your disk / partition configuration?

Computer Management -> Disk Managment

Hi ChristophD & thanks for your interest.

Here it goes. Ignore DISK2 (that's install USB Flash)

Thanks

Hello,

you see that you not fullfilled the requirements!

D: is not on the Boot Drive !

400 MB unoccupied Space on the Boot Disk

400 MB free on extended partition of Boot disk

So reduce the size of C: to 10 GB, ceate a extenden partion, give it letter D: remove/delete the 400MB RAW

Regards

Christoph

OK, I misunderstood this point.

Then it should be enough to change letter of D drive to ....(another letter) and assign letter "D" to newly created partition?

Hi ChristophD

Unfortunately, it's not the case. I try the same installation process in W7 EMBEDDED (D:\ was the same non-boot disk like you see in disk management) and installation was successful.

Have you any other tips what I should check?

Thanks

please read my post again!

you should not create a D: Partiton in the 400MB RAW Partiton!

Please read it again!

OK, now I was successful with an extended partition (4th partition was finally created as extended...) Those partitions I did before were just normal partitions.

Thanks a lot for the support Cristoph!
