From: scerab on 18 Feb 2010 12:43 I bought a refurbished Fujitsu lifebook and it came with an original windows XP tablet pc edition, but no CDs however. I have the key code. I want to formant the machine. how can I do so if I have no windows CDs? is there a way to back up my windows? thanks in advance
From: Jaime on 18 Feb 2010 13:26 You will need the CD's to reinstall XP, so formatting it isn't the only problem. If you are installing a new OS, then you can use that CD to format the drive. Otherwise, write to Fujitsu and see if they will sell you install disks or try to find a cheap set online (legality may be questionable). -- James Orlando (Goofy says "Hey"), Florida "scerab" <dr.aliocheltree(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:433C4841-028D-42F3-9B65-20B77E8A35C3(a)microsoft.com... > I bought a refurbished Fujitsu lifebook and it came with an original > windows > XP tablet pc edition, but no CDs however.

From: Jaime on 19 Feb 2010 09:34 Yes, you could make an image of your computer (to an external drive for instance) or clone it to another drive for emergency disaster recovery. You can use that later to put the system back on the computer, but that is not the same as reinstalling Windows. You would just be making a exact copy of the system as it is at the time of the imaging, so if you reformatted the drive and then used that image to put the system back, it would be exactly as it was before the reformat (more or less). You need actual setup/install discs to reinstall the OS. If you have a Technet or some other subscription with MS, you can download the OS, otherwise no it can't be downloaded. Have you checked with Fujitsu to see if the recovery discs are available. Have you checked online? I did a quick search on ebay and saw someone was selling Fujitsu recovery disks, not sure if it's the same lifebook. -- James Orlando (Goofy says "Hey"), Florida "scerab" <dr.aliocheltree(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:E71BEE43-AD60-4CB2-8AA2-437C4EA3E78F(a)microsoft.com... > so what your saying is there is no way i can back up the windows on my > lifebook? > can I like download windows XP tablet PC edition from Microsoft, I have my > key code. > I downloaded all the drivers from the manufactures website. >

Since you have an OEM installation of Windows, the manufacturer of the tablet is responsible for support and CDs, not Microsoft. Generally, the manufacturer includes some kind of utility that allows you to make a recovery disk. If the system was reformatted and installed with a plain installation, you might have lost this option. Fujistu should be able to sell you replacement disks for installation in this case. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ http://smudj.wordpress.com/ |
