I was going to download a new system to the controller(IRC5) via “System Builder” in RobotStudio 6.07. But it showed “there is not enough space on it”. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/6/6bea6b7a7eba4a2aa8b07484b8bf5cbef8902205.jpeg) I searched on the Internet and someone suggested that I can delete the current system in the controller. So, I deleted the old system. Then I tried downloading my system **and it was successful**. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/2/206ea9f5efdc2e664d4e863af2d5bce26c12647e.jpeg) Then I clicked on the “yes” button to restart the controller. However, I took me to the boot application showed on the FlexPendant, like this: ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/1/1885e3614aedda8368c4b1bd26cc81126eb90893.jpeg) Then I clicked on “Select System\*\*”, I cannot see the downloaded system\*\* which was showed has downloaded successfully in RobotStudio. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/1X/cd43ee3bb2febb4cab59f94ef3d369237c2ce92d.jpeg) I tried to download from RobotStudio again, it showed that “not enough space” again. I also tried to make a boot media from the backup to a USB stick to install it, the problem was still “not enough space”. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/7/7049945f2b8542519c0427c40823cef6f3ce23b4.jpeg) Overall, at the moment, I cannot download a system, I cannot delete a system, I cannot do anything. What I can see is just this browser after restarting the controller. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/1/1885e3614aedda8368c4b1bd26cc81126eb90893.jpeg) Could someone tell me what I can do to solve this? Thank you very much! ---

Is the controller able to run RW6.xx? If it is an older system with the older main computer you have to use RW5.xx. ---

Hi graemepaulin, thank you very much. I am not sure if the controller is able to run RW 6.xx. The version of RW I used is 5.13.4001.04. My RobotStudio version is 6.07. Is it OK? Thank you again! ---

Yes this is OK Have you powered off the controller, wait 30 seconds or so then power on again? ---

Yes, I think I have done this. I powered off the controller last Friday and I powered on today. Actually, I tried this several times last week. Thank you so much. What else can i do? ---

I have the same exact issue, I am out of options and stuck in the boot screen. Would you please help to solve this issue?
