Creating a DOS System Disk
When using DOSLoader mode or StandAlone mode, you must first boot your
target PC with DOS. These modes can be used from any boot device including
flash disk, 3.5 inch disk drive, or a hard disk drive.
In order to boot DOS with a target boot disk, a minimal DOS system is required
on the boot disk. With DOS, you can create a DOS boot disk using the command
sys A:
Note xPC Target Embedded Option does not include a DOS license. You
must obtain a valid DOS license for your target PC.
It is helpful to copy additional DOS utilities to the boot disk, including
A DOS editor to edit files
The format program to format a hard disk or flash memory
The
fdisk program to create partitions
The
sys program to transfer a DOS system onto another drive, such as the

A
config.sys file is not necessary. The autoexec.bat file should be created to
boot the loader or a stand-alone xPC Target application automatically. This is
described in the following sections.
