[QUOTE="PCD, post: 108656, member: 176341"] Sure. Hope the following is of help. Flashwizard Multiboot with DM5620 It is assumed Flashwizard Pro 5.0 (FWZ) has been installed on the pc. Next need to install a Nsf server. FWZ author Musicbob says the best nfs server for this pupose is Microsoft SFU which can be downloaded free. But it does not work with XP Home. Omni Nsf Server works with XP Home, which is what I have used for this test. The Howto instructions for Omni are attached. Those for SFU are here (I cannot attach, not enough space) :- h**p://67.43.4.157/showthread.php?t=112084 TruGridNfs does not work for multiboot. It is wise to turn off any firewall, although I did the following test with Zonealarm on. No problem, provided you give the necessary permissions when asked. (1) If TrueGridNfs is installed do the dos commands:- cd c:\truegridnfs nfs stop If other servers are installed may need to stop them. (2) With network connection and DB powered up, open Omni server. Select restart, select 'yes' to question. If the button is red (off line), keep repeating this step until it goes green. (3) Open Flashwizard. Select configuration and fill in the connecting parameters. Close FWZ. (4) With the image you want to use as the 'Flash image', i.e. the permanent (!) image on the 5620 and the lan connection and tv on, open FWZ and select 'MULTIBOOT'. (5) Fill in pc export = your share folder (dreambox) and pc ip. Select 'Nfs server' tick. You should see on Flashimage (2.6.9) and 'free space xxx'. (6) Do a drag and drop of the new image for nfs install, and keep the two ticks with 'smart settings' and 'set new image as default'. If all goes well after some time a 'Success' window will appear and the new image will be seen in the 'On multiboot' list. If it does not, close FWZ and open again. (7) Select 'Software restart'. The DB will reboot automatically and the new image will appear on tv screen. This takes a very long time like 5 minutes. At this point some see a boot menu, but my setup did not display. But still the new image was loaded. I see 2 advantages for 5620s. First, any new image can be safely installed on the nfs before booting on the DB. Second, the var space available is enormous, so one can add emus etc without worry ! Disadvantage the pc has to be on to use the boot list in FWZ, and connected, and booting may take a long time. Good luck ! Regards, pcd. [/QUOTE]
