Motion Operating System Recovery CDs: Description and Use
These CDs contain a complete re-install of the Windows XP Tablet PC
Edition operating system, all drivers, utilities, and applications.
They include Utilities and Drivers Readme.txt and System Recovery.txt files
with installation instructions. Use the System Recovery CDs when your
system is completely down and you must completely re-install. If possible,
back up your data files before running this procedure.
System Repair/Recovery Procedure
—
In most cases, once initiated, this
procedure lets you repair the Tablet PC hard disk drive and retain the
original system data, applications, passwords, and settings with no data loss.
When no repair is possible, it overwrites your system data. Should the latter
occur, you can cancel the procedure before taking any action. In this case,
you may want to contact your system administrator for help.
1. If possible, back up your data files.
2. Turn off your Tablet PC.
3. Insert the Motion M1400 Operating System Recovery CD (Windows
XP Professional Service Pack 1) into the CD-ROM drive and start
the Tablet PC.
4. When prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.
5. On the Setup screen, select ENTER to set up Windows XP.
NOTE: Do not select R=Repair before you execute the End User License
Agreement (EULA). If you do, you need to exit this procedure, shut down and
restart your Tablet PC, and read/accept the EULA before proceeding.
6. Press F8 to accept the terms of the End User License Agreement.
7. When the next options appear, select from the following:
IMPORTANT: If Windows XP cannot repair your system, this procedure
automatically skips to the ESC=Don’t Repair (reformatting) option, described
below:
• R=Repair option — Installs Windows XP Tablet PC Edition on your
system, preserving your system data, applications, passwords,
and settings
• ESC=Don't Repair (reformatting) option — Reformats your hard
disk drive. If Windows XP automatically skips to this option (that is,
no repair is possible), you must decide whether to reformat now or
cancel the procedure. If you decide to reformat, select either Format
the partition using the NTFS File System or the NTFS File System
(Quick). If you decide not to reformat, select ESC to cancel the
procedure.
8. Continue following the onscreen instructions.
9. After your operating system has been reinstalled, you will be
prompted to insert the Motion Utilities and Drivers Recovery CD.
