8.3 Installing the Operating System Windows Me
You should only follow these steps when you wish to upgrade from
Windows 2000/NT to Windows Me or if you reinstall Windows Me.
The operating system can be reinstalled or restored using the “Recovery CD”.
This CD contains encoded data which can only be transferred onto a
SIEMENS SIMATIC programming device.
Data transfer is carried out with the OEMSETUP.EXE program on the CD-ROM or,
after booting, from the CD-ROM with the Recovery function.
After transferring the required data to the hard disk, the operating system can be
installed using the Windows Me setup program. The Windows Me setup can be
started by entering:
HD:\>WIN9x\SETUP.EXE
(HD: drive on which the WINME folder was transferred to).
Windows Me Installation Sequence
If a Windows operating system is already installed or if the programming device
has been started with a bootdisk, data transfer is executed using the program
OEMSETUP.EXE. To do this, start the program OEMSETUP.EXE on the recovery
CD and continue the sequence as of point 5.
If there is no operating system installed, then please do the following:
1. Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive and switch on the PLC.
2. To boot from the Recovery CD proceed as follows: When the message
Press <F2> to enter Setup
appears on the screen press the ESC key. After initialization a boot menu to
select the boot options is displayed.
3. Select “ATAPI CD-ROM Drive”.
4. When the “Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu” is displayed, select
“1. Boot for CD-Recovery”.
5. You have to confirm the “SIEMENS End User License Agreement” with the F8
function key. Pressing ESC allows you to decline the agreement and cancels
the installation.
6. In the next screens you can select the components which are to be copied from
the CD to the hard disk. Transfer of at least the folder “WIN9x” is necessary for
the Windows Me installation or setup.
7. A selection of disk drives for the data transfer is next offered. The disk drive
selected is not the installation drive for Windows. It is the drive on which the
necessary installation files and extensions are saved. You need approximately
250 MB of additional memory for the Windows setup following the transfer.
During a standard installation Windows Me is installed on drive C:. Therefore,
please make sure when selecting a drive that there is enough available memory
on drive C: after the data transfer.
