	In this section, you will create a boot disk to load the xPC operating system on the Target PC for stand alone mode. Only do this when you have tested your simulink model and confirmed that it works. To convert back from Stand Alone mode only perform steps 1 through 15 and delete the MyModelNameHere.rtb that was created in step 14.
