windows xp tablet edition problem.

[Guest pcoles7@googlemail.com]

Hi i was given a fujitsu seimens T4210 which worked fine until i found

my little girl playing with it, she had managed to put a copy of

windows xp prof into the drive and run it. which is from my desk top.

You see i did not get any start up discs or a copy of windows xp

tablet with it, as it is x company. It copys all the files from the xp

pro disc but when it asks if you want to repair windows or start a

fresh copy watever way you go it cant find the hard drive. i sorted

the BIOS still no luck. when i let it load on its own i get ( software

exception (0xc06d007e) occured in the application 0x7c812a5b. if then

press return it tells me the system is not fully installed. please run

set up again. i can only assume i need to get hold of a copy of

windows xp tablet edition and start again. can anybody help me without

it...................i am going round in circles!!!!

Many thanks colesey.

Don't have a solution for your problem, but to keep it from happening

again, perhaps you should look into a realistic way to keep your

computer away from your "little girl".

I don't know much about Windows XP Tablet Edition but since it's Windows, have

you tried to start your tablet in Safe mode where you restart and keep hitting

the F8 key?

 

I think you'll find that your only source of an installation CD is the

manufacturer and it might only be a Recovery CD which would mean that you'd lose

all your files. Also, since you're not the original owner, you might not be able

to even order one.

 

Personally, I think it may be time to seek the help of a local computer repair

shop.

 

Good luck

You cannot buy a 'retail' version of WindowsXP Tablet Edition. That

version of WinXP is OEM only and is specific to each model. If you

don't want to wait for the image disk from the manufacturer to arrive

(assuming they still carry it . . .) you can make your own disk.

 

What you are going to need to do is a little complicated but doable.

 

Note that you must have a Full WinXP disk in your CDROM drive. This is

necessary to get the appropriate bootable image so that the CD you

create will be bootable.

 

1) First pull the drive and stick it in another machine as a slave

2) Download a 'slipstream' application (there are a number of freeware

ones out there.

3) Copy the OEM files to the Windows drive on the 'tablet' drive to the

I386 directory. (This is extremeley important . . . without those OEM

files, your Product key will NOT be recognized)

4) When you begin the slipstream, point the app to the I386 directory

on the 'tablet drive'

5) When the slipstream application is done you will have a disk that

has the WinXPte on it.

6) Look on the 'tablet' drive for a folder that contains the drivers

for your specific machine. Some manufacturers are nice and will have a

single directory with many directories below it that conatin those

drivers files. On my HP for example, the directory is called 'SWSetup'.

7) Make a copy of those folders.

8) Put the drive back into the laptop, and boot the WinXPte disk that

you created.

9) Once WinXPte is installed if necessary run the drivers from the

drivers directoroes that you made copies of.
