TabletKiosk eo restore doesn't restore everything

May 14, 2006 20:39 by docbliny

I just ran the restoration stuff from the D:\ partition. Bad news: It's not set up for the TabletKiosk eo. So far I've noticed that it installs/expects the wrong wifi adapter, dialkeys are nowhere to be seen and all the touch/experience pack stuff is not installed. Also misc settings, such as single-click to open, were not at the original settingsBe warned, take backups.

Here's what I had to do. I had used Partition Magic to resize the C: and D: drives and had returned D: back to FAT32 and frankly I've never seen a direct option to restore stuff. The following has X: as the USB drive letter, in reality it was C:, but you need to be careful with that.

  • I changed the boot settings in the BIOS to allow booting from a USB drive.
  • I booted my desktop from an old Windows 95 floppy disk and formatted the USB drive with "format X: /s". Before I did this I checked that the USB had an active primary partition (You would have to use FDISK to do this if this isn't the case for your drive).
  • I made sure that the CONFIG.SYS file on the USB had the two following rows that were required for the restoration software to work:
    • DEVICE=X:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
    • DEVICE=X:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
  • I ended up having to modify ENGLISH.BAT to point to the D:\ drive, since the USB drive showed up as C: (and got hosed on the first try):
    • cd imageit
    • it hd1 /reco:1 file:d:\t700eng
  • I booted from the USB:
    • CD D:
    • ENGLISH.BAT

A few minutes later the C: partition was restored. It had retained the new larger partition size.
