Chapter 3: Starting Your PowerStation

Using the BIOS Utility

Reformating the CompactFlash Card

Warning:Manually formatting a CompactFlash card in Windows NT, 2000, XP, or Vista before using Flashback could possibly make the CF card unusable.

Warning:Removing the CompactFlash card: During a disk transfer procedure, do not remove the CF card before issuing a Stop or shutting down the USB port service. Otherwise the last part of the data will not transfer to the CF card.

To reformat a CF card for a PA PowerStation, complete the following steps on a personal computer or laptop:

1Insert the CompactFlash card into the CompactFlash card PC reader/writer or the PCMCIA slot.

2Insert the PA PowerStation CD into the CD-ROM drive.

3Select the Drivers/Utilities selection from the CD menu. On the Utilities page you will find a link to the web site that contains the Flashback utility image.

4Select the Flashback utility web link to open your browser to the location of the utility.

5Download the utility from the web site and install it on your development laptop.

6Double-click the executable file.

The Flashback Utility dialog box appears.

Note: Reformatting a CompactFlash card using Flashback will erase your projects from the CF card. You will need to download your projects to the CF card again. After using Flashback, you may also need to recalibrate your PA PowerStation display. For instructions, see Calibrating the Touchscreen on page 4-2.

7Click the down arrow for the destination drive and choose the correct drive letter that was assigned to the CF.

8Press the Restore Image button.

Note	The Flashback Utility, will first format the compact flash, and then
	copy ROM-DOS, the Shell, and the utilities to the compact flash.
