I've downloaded the MSDN ISO for Tablet PC 2005 and am trying to install to a
new Gateway CX210X that came with Vista.
I haven't had any trouble installing to a new partition on the tablet and
getting Vista & XP to play nice. However the XP install doesn't seem to have
any of the tablet features that I would expect. The My Computer Properties
page does show that it is a tablet install so I used the correct CD key. I
was never prompted to use CD2 during the install though.
I've done about 5 installs and haven't been able to figure this out. The
only 'non-standard' thing that I'm doing is I have to use nLite to put the
driver my serial ATA hard drive on the CD so that XP recognizes my HD.

I've used nLite before and I believe it strips out the Tablet PC components
by default. You have to specifically tell it to install those. I forget
where and how but I do remember that I had to explicitly do this.

That indeed was the problem. I redid the image manually and everything is
working. Thank you for your quick response.
