This step shows you how to create and prepare your configuration to be deployed on a bootable CD-ROM.

To create a working configuration

  1. Use the instructions that are provided in Tutorial: Building and Deploying a Run-Time Image to create a working run-time image.

    Note

    Because this bootable CD-ROM tutorial requires the FAT file system, you must replace any NTFS components with FAT equivalents.

  2. After you have a working run-time image, in Target Designer, update the configuration settings to boot from C:\.

    1. Start Target Designer and load your configuration, MySystem.slx.
    2. At the top of the MySystem node in the configuration browser, choose Settings. The configuration settings appear in the details pane.
    3. Under Target Device Settings, choose Show.
    4. Change the Target Settings of your configuration so that it can be deployed onto C:\.
      Boot drive: C:
      Windows folder: C:\WINDOWS
      Program Files folder: C:\Program Files
      Documents and Settings folder: C:\Documents and Settings
      Boot Arc path: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) (default)
      Boot partition size (MB): 650
      Partition cluster size (bytes): 4096 (default)

  3. Check dependencies by choosing Check dependencies from the Configuration menu.

  4. After all dependencies are resolved, save your configuration. For example, choose Save As from the File menu and type bootablecd.slx.

After you have a working configuration, you are ready to add the bootable CD-ROM components to your configuration.
