I am trying to replace an old failed Epos system which is no longer made
with a second hand pos PC.
The new second hand PC had its disk wiped so I had to buy a copy of
Microsoft "PosReady2009" which is a version of XP for Epos and is still
supported.
The new PC has no disk drive and so I have to install from a USB stick.
After some time, I managed to create one from the "iso" image with
"rufus.exe" and installed the OS. However when powering it up and
expecting it to boot from the hard disk, I got a "disk error CTRL ALT
DEL to continue". I was able to run CHKDSK from the installation USB
which indicated that the drive was OK.
The next step was to create a rescue disk and hopefully find the
problem. However after trying combinations of several different USB
drives, rescue disk images and drive creators (rufus windows, Unetbootin
and universal) I have not been able to create another bootable USB - all
also fail on another PC. The only successful USB was the first which was
in fact brand new and unused. I am not keen on experimenting with this.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Regards
Roger
