[quote=GeneT]I received the replacement hard drive and System and Recovery CDs as expected.

Now the problem is the tablet PC doesn't attempt to boot from the System disk. Yes, I verified it's the System CD and not a Recovery CD.

I changed the Boot order to CD-ROM, Removable Devices then Hard Drive. And even hit F12 when booting to access the boot menu and selected CD-ROM from there, but it doesn't access the drive.

Their response is for me to send in the Tablet PC for repair. :(

Does anyone else have any suggestions before I try to package this guy up?



I think i might have some advice for you. i used a windows xp cd and format the hard drive. this was followed by running the recovery cds from acer by hitting F12. you will still have to update to service pack 2 and the free download of windows TPE 2005.

i hope this helps you
