Introduction
This Tech Note explains the steps necessary to restore the factory image of the Wonderware Industrial Tablet computer using the
Recovery CDs included with the product. Before attempting to restore the image, an external USB CD-ROM drive, keyboard and mouse
must be connected to the unit (in order to connect these devices to the unit, a USB hub will also be required).
Separate Tech Notes are available for the Touch Panel Computer Series A or B units. Click the following links to view the Series A
Tech Note, or the Series B Tech Note.
Application Versions
This Tech Note applies to all HAMMERHEAD XRT Industrial Tablet Computer versions. For more information, see Recovery CD Versioning Details below.
Recovery CD
Purpose and General Functionality
The recovery process overwrites any data already existing on the drive to which it is restored.
Make sure you copy any files that are on the hard drive that you want to keep.
Copy the Wonderware license file, WWSUITE.LIC (located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArchestrA\License). This file is unique to
each Tablet and is NOT part of the image. In the event you are unable to retrieve this file, contact Technical Support. They can then
obtain a copy of the license file for your specific unit.
Contents
The Recovery CD set contains an 'image' of the system that is prepared by Wonderware for use in the field. This image has the OS,
drivers, and several pieces of the software that came pre-installed on the system. It allows a customer to restore a system to a
known good state in the field, without having to RMA the unit, and without having to reinstall the OS, drivers, and InTouch. If there
are any problems with this process, contact your Technical Support Provider for further assistance.
NTI Drive Backup! and NTI Backup Now! Product CDs
As part of the Recovery CD set, you also receive these two products that can be used with your Tablet PC for creating backups, or
other Recovery CD sets with your custom configuration.
Drive Backup! is the product that was used to create the Wonderware Recovery CD set.
Backup Now! also includes the ability to create scheduled backups while the Tablet PC is running, without booting to DOS. It can
create a full backup, and then incremental backups to add on to the full backup. Visit the NTI website http://www.ntius.com, or
review the CDs for the specific product usage and details. These products are not pre-installed on the Tablet CDs, but the CDs are
included with the Recovery CD set.
Recovery CD - Versioning Details
The Recovery CD naming convention indicates the software versions included in the image, as well as the intended target hardware:
Example:
XRT_MUI_90D_XP-Tablet SP2
XRT - Tablet model
MUI - Language. MUI = Multilingual User Interface.
90 - InTouch version. 90 = 9.0, 95 =9.5, etc.
D - Image version for internal use. A disk with 'D' in this area would be newer then a disk with a 'C'.
XP-Tablet SP2 - Operating System/version. XPSP2 = XP Pro with Service Pack 2.
