Re: Problem imaging the roboRIO

It didn't occur to us that perhaps this msg was indicating the roboRIO drivers were not getting installed correctly for awhile. On the classmate (windows 7) as soon as we plugged in the roboRIO we saw msgs about NI/USBLAN driver being installed.
Check the power settings of your Toshiba, specifically the Toshiba power management settings. I can't imagine those would interfere, but you never know. It's more likely the culprit was Windows 8.

We had issues with people on Windows 8. 8.1 worked better, and Windows 7 worked fine.

(For reference, I have a Toshiba Satellite P855-S5200, running Windows 7, but I disabled all the Toshiba power management, and just use the built-in Windows power management.)
