Thanks George,
I went through the boards and cables tonight and made sure all was connected alright,I need to replace the cable to the hard drive.
It doesn,t seem to stay tight .
I starte the mill and it started with no plroblems at all.
It always goes to the blue screen that says Machine checkeither ok or not running then Executive loading:Please wait ,then bmdc is running then comes right up.
Should it go to this screen or load on the previous screen?
I finally am getting somewhere with the different screes.
The only problem I see so far was after I homed the axis
a line came up that said:Error in reading disc:Hit any key to continue.
Any key and the line disapears.
Everything else goes good until I go to the edit screen
I get a line that says Wait:Loading file to editer with the curser flashing at the bottom.
It says the F2 key is exit but the computer freezes there.
I have to reset the pc to get going again.
Its probably something I am doing but can't seem to get anywhere with it.
I would like to know how to write a small program,save it then recall it and then run it.
the more I have work with it the better it is getting.
The control seems pretty user friendly so far.
I am going to pull the boards and clean everything good then I should be good to go.
I would like to backup the c drive and I would like to check the drive and delete or fix any bad files.
Would this be a good idea?
I just want to get the pc in good shape.
