I have a spare Hurco hard disk unit that's out of a machine at the moment, so I may try connecting via the PC method to see if that works. If I'm able to clone the HDD with my spare hard disk, I'll...

I was never good with DOS, and I'm really rusty using DOS on top of that, so I have no clue how to clone my hard disk. I do have a full set of floppy disks from Hurco, so that should save me if...

Just to close this matter, I just wanted to report back that I was able to get the machine up and running again. For anyone interested, here is what I did.

First, I diagnosed the problem as...

I was just at my shop, so took the CPU board out of the machine to investigate. Not sure exactly as to the version of Ultimax to be honest, but it's probably the earlier variant. Looks like the...

To be honest, still haven't figured out where the CMOS battery is at. I have taken all the boards out with the exception of the CPU board, so I'm assuming that's where it's at. Also makes sense...

I took the hard disk out to look for setting info, but couldn't find any. Maybe the problem was, I looked only on the exposed top side. I might try taking the hard disk off the board to look for...

If your situation in a setup menu, did you enter a Disk Type? If so, did you enter the disk type based on a reference somewhere or did you just chance it?

I think I have a dead memory battery...

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

Did you ever figure out the hard drive setup? I'm having a similar problem with my Hurco BMC-20.

Hello, just joined the forum and went through the forum. Impressed with all the knowledge here.

Anyways, I have several Hurco machines which I haven't used for the past few years because my...
