11.2.2.3Setting up the operating system via the Recovery CD/DVD

Use the supplied Recovery CD/DVD to install Windows to suit your particular requirements. You also need the included Documentation and Drivers CD.

Note

Prerequisite is that you connect a USB CD-ROM drive to the device and have set the "Legacy USB Support" option to "Enabled" in the BIOS setup.

Booting with the Recovery CD/DVD

1.Insert the Restore CD/DVD in your drive and reboot the device. When the BIOS message

Press <F2> to enter Setup or <ESC> to show Bootmenu

appears, press the ESC key. The "Boot Menu" is displayed when initialization is completed.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions until the "Windows XP Professional Setup" window opens.

Partition setup

After you have installed a new hard disk or SSD, or if partitions are faulty, or when you wish to change the partitioning on your hard disk, you need to create or reconfigure partitions on the hard disk.

CAUTION

When you delete or create partitions or logical DOS partitions, you lose all data on the hard disk. All drives on the hard disk or SSD will be deleted.

With Windows XP operating systems, the factory state features two partitions with an NTFS file system on the hard disk. To restore the partitions to factory state, follow the on-screen instructions:

●To install the selected partition, select "ENTER"

●To create a new partition in an unpartitioned area, press C.

●To delete the selected partition, press D.
