I have Gateway CX210X tablet PC. My recovery CD does not work.
Actually it works in my friend's laptop, but not in mine. So I have
"Windows XP Tablet PC Edition KEY" but I don't have Installation CD.
How can I get the Windows XP tablet PC edition CD? I hope you
understand my question.

I am having the same problem but with a a Gateway M275. As far as I can tell
there is no such thing as a xp tablet cd. There is some way to install xp
tablet 2005 from xp sp2 but Im having problems figuring out how to configure
and deploy this opption myself. GOOD LUCK!

You cannot install just XPSP2 and get Tablet. This is often misunderstood.

There is a Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 that includes SP2. It's only
available from OEMs. If Gateway is refusing to send you a copy, then ask to
speak to a supervisor.

If you haven't already checked, read the directions that should have come
with the Tablet or look at the "READ ME" file on the computer. There are
directions on how to create the CD from the files included on the computer.

Christi, you are the fist person I've seen who has a M275 like me. Have you
ever had a problem with your pen not being recognized on the screen. It did
work for the first year I had it, but after that, no more. If you know of
any help to getting my pen to work please help me.

Thanks

I have a somewhat similar problem. I've got my daughter's HP tc4200 that
needs to have the os (MS Win XP Tablet PC) reinstalled due to massive virus
takeover problems. The recovery disk is a DVD, but all I have is the
external USB CD player. I was able to create an install CD from the recovery
disk, but when I try to reinstall XP Tablet, the product key (on the back of
the laptop) is not recognized as valid. Help?
Thanx,
Frank
