Re: Fujitsu Stylistic 3400 Hard Drive Upgrade

this is from another forum and person i hope it does help you. i suspect that something is wrong with your master boot record it doesn't find the nt bootloader on drive c:.

you should try to boot from floppy win 98 or cd. win xp got a rescue console to fix the mbr somebody above wrote the write command. i guess win 2000 has got something similar. if you use a win 98 floppy it will not work if your win 2000 is on a ntfs partition because there is no ntfs driver on the floppy.

for a new installiation i ad the following.

This is the complete How-To to install Windows 2K on the Fujitsu Stylistic assuming a clean or new harddrive. It is also a work around not having a dock, or bootable floppy drive.

The basic principal is to prep your harddrive in a desktop PC, then boot the stylistic off of the new harddrive and do the Win2k setup on that drive, from that drive.

What you will need:
A Fujitsu Stylistic 3400 or 3500 pen enabled slate computing device
An IDE 40 pin to 44 pin 2.5" harddrive adapter
Your Own Windows 2000 CD-ROM and Cert. of Authenticity, specifically, the i386 directory and all its subdirectories.
A USB Hub, Keyboard, and Mouse, or USB combo keyboard and mouse
A desktop/tower PC that you have the ability to add another harddrive to
If the desktop is running Win98, that's all,
If the desktop is running Win2K or XP, it will need to have a working floppy drive that it can be booted from.

In general, these instructions assume you have some knowledge of administration/manipulation of your graphical, Win98 2K XP desktop.


Prep:
If you are using a win2K or XP desktop, a bootable Win98 system disk will need to be made in preparation for the following operation;

Once you have extracted the Zip package, you will find several directories, one of which is "FloppyTools" in that directory run (double click) the program Floppy Image.exe. In the lower half of the screen, the section to Write Floppy, click the Browse button. You may have to browse back to the directory, and select the image setup.img.

Ensuring that a blank, or unnecessary floppy, disk is in the floppy drive, click start. When it's finished, eject the disk and quit the program. We will get back to it later.

Now we will pick up the pace for a while

1. Install new drive in desktop, preferably by itself on secondary IDE cable

2. Partition / format FAT32 / Test, make the partition active!

3. Reboot desktop with Win98 custom boot disk, if using Win98 just open a command prompt and do step 4 from within windows, skipping step five.

4. SYS new drive
For example, in my PC the new drive shows up as c: because the Win98 boot disk cannot mount the NTFS volume that my Win2K resides on. Ensure that you are performing this operation on the new drive. You could really screw up your desktop in this step. In my situation the command looks like this:
A:>sys c:

5. Reboot desktop to Win2K/XP

6. Copy directories to new drive: i386 from your Win2K CD
Drivers from the Zip 3400setup
Doco "
Also the driver package for what ever is going to be your primary network adapter under Win2K, unless you are sure that it is natively supported by Win2K.

7. Take contents of \3400setup\move2root\ and move the four files to the root of new drive, if you don't see four files check your explorer's tools/folder options and ensure that you aren't hiding system and hidden files from yourself.

8. Remove drive from desktop and install in Stylistic 3400. Power up tablet, USB keyboard and mouse connected. Use bios to detect new drive if necessary

9. At command prompt: cd i386
winnt.exe

10. Finish up basic install of Win2K
