solvents will dull the finish of the console. 

Do not 

use alcohol (methyl, ethyl or isopropyl) or any strong 

solvent. 

Do not

 use thinner or benzene, abrasive cleaners or compressed air. Do not wipe the screens with a 

cloth or sponge that could scratch the surface.

to reboot the console.

The Road Hog system restore routine 
allows reinstallation of the software from 
a location on the internal hard drive or 
from external USB drives.

System Restore from Internal Drive

The Road Hog console includes a system restore routine 
that can restore the original software and XPe image on the 
console.  A protected partition on the hard drive stores the files 
needed to create a clean restore of the Road Hog console 
software.  Newer versions of software may be available at 
www.flyingpig.com. To restore your system files from the hard 
drive, you’ll need a

 

USB Keyboard.

Using the Road Hog System Restore Image

1. Connect a keyboard to the console.
2. As the system boots up, press any key on the keyboard 

when the boot manager screen is displayed. 

Note: This 

screen is displayed for only one second during the 
boot process.

3. Select 

Road Hog System Restore

 from the boot manager

 screen and press Enter on the keyboard. 

Note: Selecting 

Road Hog Console

 will boot the console normally.

4. A recovery screen will prompt you to select a Partial 

recovery or Exit.

 Note: The partial recovery process 

will reinstall the XPe image and the Wholehog 
software without erasing your show files.

5. The console immediately begins drive restoration. The 

process may take anywhere from 10-15 minutes, and
will automatically reboot your console when finished. 
Do not touch any keys or attempt to interrupt the restore 
process. If the process is interrupted for any reason, simply 
reboot and return to Step 1 to ensure the
Road Hog console is completely restored.

System Restore from USB Drive

The Road Hog console system restore routine can restore the 
original software or upgrade the XPe image from external USB 
drives (Flash, CD, ZIP, etc).  Newer versions of software may 
be available at www.flyingpig.com. To restore your system 
files, you’ll need a USB keyboard and  a Road Hog System 
Restore image on a USB drive (flash, CD, or Zip drive) 

Note: 

The image must be an ISO image properly extracted to a 
CD or bootable flash drive.  Instructions on creating a 
bootable flash drive follow.

Using the Road Hog System Restore Image

1. Connect a keyboard and your USB drive containing the 

System restore image.

2. As the system boots up, press F8 on the keyboard to 

display the boot device selection screen.

3. Select the USB device that contains the system restore 

image from the list.

4. A recovery screen will prompt you to select a Full or Partial 

recovery. A full recovery will erase the show files on the 
hard drive and a partial will not.

CAUTION: The Full recovery process will remove 
ALL data from the Road Hog hard drive including 
show files. 

The partial recovery process will reinstall the XPe 
image and the Wholehog software without erasing 
your show files.

5. The console immediately begins drive restoration. The 

process may take anywhere from 10-15 minutes, and 
will automatically reboot your console when finished. 
Do not touch any keys or attempt to interrupt the 
restore process. If the process is interrupted for any 
reason, simply reboot and return to Step 1 to ensure 
the Road Hog console is completely restored.

6. Once the system is restored and rebooted, remove the 

System Restore USB drive and store in a safe place.

Restoring Touchscreen Configuration 
after a Full Restore

Following the completion of a full system restore process, 
use the following steps to calibrate the touchscreens.
1. Navigate to the 

Displays

 tab in the 

Control

 

Panel

.

Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive

The Road Hog console system restore routine also contains 
a utility to create bootable USB flash drives with or 
without a restore image.

CAUTION: This process will remove ALL files from the 
USB flash drive.

To create a bootable USB flash drive, you’ll need: a 
Road Hog System flash drive or other bootable capable 
flash drive  greater than 500 MB and a USB Keyboard.

Using the Road Hog System Restore Utility

flash drive is not connected to the console.

screen is displayed only for one second during the 
boot process.

 from the boot manager

 screen and press Enter on the keyboard. 

Note: Selecting 

Road Hog Console

 will boot the console normally.

the screen select the button labeled

flash drive

5. Insert the USB flash drive and select it from the drop down 

list to make bootable.

6. To place the current XPe image from this Road Hog 

console on the flash drive, select the check box 
labeled 

Add restore files to the flash drive

.

7. Press 

Select

 to create the USB bootable flash drive image.  

8. When complete, select 

Exit

 from the restore screen to
