HELP! - Rookie USB key not in KOP
 

Hi guys. We need to image our classmate but the USB key didn't come w/ our KOP. I've been looking everywhere for where we can download it but can't find it.

Can somebody tell me where we can download the files and make our own USB? We put this on our list of missing parts but don't want to wait for it to arrive via snail mail.

I don't believe you will be able to download it anywhere yet, unless another team uploads it. You should have reported it before today, and they would have sent you a new one.

The USB stick was handed to (someone) when you received your Kit. It was checked off on the inventory sheet, and (someone) signed for it. It's not inside the black or green tote, it was on top and loose, with the signal light, secondary regulator, and sensor board. Maybe that will help you find it.

Unfortunately, none of the Rookie / Sacramento kits had them, so we're all scrambling. If somebody could post it somewhere it would help a lot of teams out!

Actually, the USB stick was left out of all Rookie KOPs in the Sacramento Region, so we're all scrambling to get them. If somebody could post up the files, that would really help a lot of people out!

I don't have a rookie USB drive, but if anybody does and has nowhere to host - DropBox has easily shareable public hosting perfect for this (http://dropbox.com).

I also seem to remember hearing that FIRST was able to electronically distribute images for teams that mistakenly got the wrong key. I could be incorrect though.

EDIT: I would recommend calling your regional manager as it will the quickest way to help in my experience.

Basicxman - good idea on the regional, I'll see if they can help!

Any rookies willing/able to post the files??

Re: HELP! - Rookie USB key not in KOP
 

Called FIRST to let them know about the problem, they're telling the KOP engineer, I'll let you guys know if I can get them to host the files online...

If you download the DS files from NI found here:

You should be able to run the Driver Station from your laptop.

I have a rookie thumbdrive and will post an ISO image of it online shortly

Re: HELP! - Rookie USB key not in KOP
 

@Jon236, will those files install the OS and do all else that the thumb drive is intended to do?

@Fletch1373, you would be a hero to a lot of teams in Sacramento if you could do this...

Re: HELP! - Rookie USB key not in KOP
 

Can someone post the veteran image, we lost our key

Re: HELP! - Rookie USB key not in KOP
 

Update: We haven't gotten anything yet. Anybody? We have a place to host it...

@Trevor1743 - good luck!

Sorry for the delay, I had to go to work.

I have been struggling for a while to get an ISO of this drive... for some reason, it's near impossible to make an ISO of a flashdrive like you would with a CD/DVD(and I have a degree in Computer Science :ahh: ). I will copy the files over and build them into an ISO file, however, I can't guarantee it will boot correctly without other modifications(but at least you'll have the files you need)

I'll keep trying to get it working though
