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.

•ESC=Don't Repair (reformatting) option — Reformats your hard disk drive.
