CF2002 - System Booting - please wait

[ESA]

Fiery system loads are pretty straight forward it's the time that's a killer. If the drive hasn't self destructed you can create a drive mirror and make an exact dupe. I have done this when I started to see the tell, tell signs. Having a backup is always good. System booting message is never good.

We're in a similar situation with the CF2002/K8020/etc machines (trying to eliminate them from the field for printing/scanning purposes.) They just aren't very stable.

As stirton said, acronis works great. I tried ghost and had mixed results.

I'm in the same situation - I have a netbook for all of my field work and of course they stopped adding parallel ports to laptops a while back, and a netbook is no exception. We tried using a usb to parallel converter cable but it is very shoddy. I believe the issue is that the device is not "on" early enough to start sending the boot.efi file over. This forced us to stop being lazy and start creating and carrying the images around. Good stuff.

My office charges a flat rate of $300 Cdn for a complete restoration of a failed fiery hard drive. This includes the cost of the drive plus a couple hours or so doing the image transfer, configuration and final testing. A warranty for 60 days is included.

Any chance I could buy one of those from you? Since software is preloaded, do I just have to pop it in?

I've had a Minolta tech working on this stupid thing for what seems like 2 weeks now, hours of trying to reload software. After 2 days of "reloading" he finally admitted yesterday my harddrive is most likely shot. I told him that when he showed up!

The tech will still need to load the fiery software onto the hard drive after you purchase it. You can pick up a variety of hard drives that will work for less than 80 dollars online. I'm not sure what type of maintenance agreement you are on with the company you are with.. We normally include that in our maintenance package.

I'm not on an maintenance agreement. Do I just google CF2002 fiery harddrive? Not sure what I would look for to get the right one. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You will certainly need a technician to install the software. All of the software is only available to techs through konica minolta. Here's a link to a hard drive that will work but you will still need a tech to install it!..

Thank you so much for that link. I appreciate all your input.

Sorry, I do not sell these myself, even through our office. Simply policy of the company.

Contact your local KM for support information. As previously stated, you will need system code reinstalled along with the new hard disk. This is best done by a qualified technician.
