Installing the Recovery CD for Microsoft Windows XP
Do not follow these instructions unless you want to upgrade from another Windows
operating system to Windows XP or if you want to reinstall.
The new installation or reinstallation of the operating system is accomplished with
the Recovery CD.
This CD contains encoded files which can only be transferred to a SIEMENS
SIMATIC programming device.
Data transfer is made with the OEMSETUP.EXE program on the CD ROM, or after
booting from the CD ROM with the recovery function.
After transferring the required data to the hard disk, the operating system can be
installed using the Windows XP Professional setup program. The Windows XP
setup starts when you enter
HD:\>i386\WinNT.bat
(HD: drive on which the folder I368 was transferred to). Setup for Windows XP can
be carried out on existing Windows installations via the program
HD:\i386\WinNT32.exe.
Windows XP Professional Installation Sequence
If a Windows operating system is already installed or if the PC has been started
with a user created bootdisk, data transfer takes place using the OEMSETUP.EXE
program. To do this, start the OEMSETUP.EXE program on the Recovery CD and
continue the sequence as of point 5.
