You want to install QNX, but you already have QNX and mount the ISO....?

IMHO the easiest way to install without CD-ROM is to install on another PC, using HD of PC without CD-ROM, then take HD and put it back to machine without CD-ROM. This works, because QNX makes no hardware-specific configurations during installation. All is done on the fly at boot time.

hi Thunderblade. thank you for reply

I understand that your opinion is right. but, How to do that?

If no bootdisk, no CDROM... only have HDD and qnx.iso file.

I want to install HardDisk to another HardDisk.

Then, what shall i do? oh~~my head is complex.

Use VMWare. From there you can boot from t the ISO. Now if you set a partition on the HD to install QNX on, and setup VMware to use the physical HD (and the a virtual HD), you can install QNX on that partition. Once that done you don't need vmware anymore, or you might really like it and use it everyday Wink

Thanks mario.
VMware is good application. so powerful, but diffcult to install qnx.
I had used Norton ghost before vmware. It is simply and powerful.

I'm trying to use vmware properly. Please some advise that Partition(or drive) boot and qnx.iso file install.
