Finally, I could create a bootable WinXP CD with the stuff that ACER includes in the C drive of the C-110-CT!!!
Dear friends:
=46inally, I could create a bootable WinXP CD with the stuff that ACER includes in the C drive of most of their PCs, like the C-110-CT!!! As you know, ACER only gives you the restore CD to restore your TabletPC to the original state, as the PC was sold by ACER, but what happens if you need to repair your TabletPC-WinXP-Pro installation? Here is how to create a bootable WinXP-TabletPC CD. =46irst, you need to get the following WEB pages from the Internet: "MSFN - Create Win XP CD Slipstreamed with SP1 - Nero" and "Windows XP/SP1 Slipstreamed CD - Nero Burning Rom Procedure". Do a Google search for them, and note that if you don't have Nero, there are sister pages for Easy Cd Creator too. In these pages you will have a detailed explanation about how to create a bootable CD and how to get the file "boot.bin" which is the CD's boot sector. Then, you need to follow the procedures in the WEB pages above, and create a bootable CD, using the boot.bin file as a boot sector, to label it "WXPOEM_EN", and including the following in its root directory: Volume in drive F is WXPOEM_EN Volume Serial Number is 900E-C059 Directory of f:\ 03-Sep-02 01:23 AM DIR CMPNENTS 06-Mar-03 10:06 PM DIR ELEMENTS 03-Sep-02 01:26 AM DIR I386 15-Jan-03 10:38 AM 2,048 boot.bin 23-Apr-04 12:40 PM 6 ISACER.ID 23-Mar-03 02:37 PM 92 PRELOAD.AAA 23-Mar-03 02:38 PM 3 PRELOAD.TAG 30-May-04 08:36 PM 0 WIN51IP 30-May-04 08:36 PM 0 WIN51IP.SP1 6 File(s) 2,149 bytes 3 Dir(s) 0 bytes free Of the above, the three subdirectories ("CMPNENTS", "ELEMENTS" and "I386"), the "ISACER.ID", and both the "PRELOAD" files, are located by ACER in your "C:\" drive. You need to create both "WIN51IP" files doing something like "ECHO AA WIN51IP" and "ECHO AA WIN51IP.SP1" from the command prompt. You will end with a 630 MB CD. Maybe, you should also add there other subdirectories with extra ACER material, like "DOCS". The idea is to have in one CD all the drivers and material needed to repair your PC's installation in the case of a disaster. I don't know if you will be able to make a fresh install of the TabletPC Operating System from this CD, but you will be able to boot from it and to repair an existent one. At least, I could boot from the CD and arrive to the CD's Recovery Console without any problem. Create this CD before you have a disaster and it is too late!!! Enjoy!!! Note: If you can improve this procedure, please tell me!! Thanks Juan I. Cahis Santiago de Chile (South America) Note: Please forgive me for my bad English, I am trying to improve it! |

Why? All the material is included by ACER in the C drive of any
C-110-CT sold, I am only copying it, for backup purposes, on a bootable CD. I don't see any illegal doing a CD backup. "Dave" wrote: Illegal "Juan I.
