7.3 INSTALLING FILES AND APPLICATIONS
The CP451 utilizes the Windows XP Embedded EWF to protect its internal drive from accidental or unauthorized changes. The EWF appears to read and write from the internal drive, but executes everything in RAM. All changes WILL be lost after reset or shutdown unless the changes are committed to memory. Three batch files are provided for direct control over the EWF and should be used cautiously.
1. COMMIT.BAT – Write to hard drive
This batch file resides on the desktop and writes the RAM data onto the hard drive for permanent storage while EWF is enabled. Close open applications before running this batch file or the changes may not be committed to memory.
2. ENABLE.BAT – Turn on EWF
This batch file resides in the root directory and turns on the EWF. In this mode, no changes made to the system are saved unless the COMMIT batch file is executed. This is the default condition for all CP450s.
3. DISABLE.BAT – Turn off EWF
This batch file resides in the root directory and turns off the EWF. In this mode, the system operates like a normal computer reading and writing data directly to the hard drive.
WARNING
When the EWF is turned off, the user MUST shutdown the computer properly. If power is turned off or lost without executing the normal shutdown procedure, data can be lost, or corrupted, including the BIOS and operating system (OS). If the BIOS or OS are damaged, the entire system can become unusable.
7.3.1 INSTALLING LARGE FILES
If the application or file is too large for the available RAM, the operation will be aborted. Use the disable batch file before installing the software. Make sure to reset the EWF when done.
