12. Immediately eject the DVD or unplug the USB DVD drive
from your eo a7330 so the system will reboot from the
restored hard drive.
Recovering Your System with the Windows® XP Professional or
Tablet PC Edition System Restore Disc:
IMPORTANT: This process is destructive to the data stored on your
hard drive. All existing data will be lost. It is vital you back-up any files
you wish to keep before you proceed.
Step 1: Set up the required hardware:
Plug the USB keyboard and USB mouse into the USB hub and
plug the hub into one of the available USB ports on the tablet.
Plug the USB cable from the DVD drive into the remaining USB
port of the tablet. Make sure that the a230T System Restore Disc
is in the USB DVD drive and that the drive has power and is on.
Step 2: Partitioning the Hard Drive (required for a new Hard
Drive only):
If you are simply attempting to restore your eo a7330 using the hard
drive that came with your system, you can skip this step and proceed
to Step 3.
You will need to use the software that came with your new hard
drive—or another third party program of your choosing that is
designed to partition hard drives—in order to create a primary
system partition to house the restored OS.
NOTE: At a minimum, any bootable disc containing Microsoft’s
“FDISK.EXE” utility should be sufficient. If you attempt to start the
restore utility before successfully partitioning the drive, the Windows
installer will crash with a B.S.O.D. displaying a “STOP: 0x07” error.
Step 3: Booting the eo a7330 to the Recovery Application:
1. Power up your eo a7330 Tablet PC.
2. It will start from the DVD and automatically load the recov-
ery application.
3. Select “OK” to proceed with partition creation.
