I have a tablet PC that was having some serious problems with some corrupted
OS files, so I attmepted to recover it with the manufacturer's supplied OS
recovery CD. The problem is that the manufacturer supplied recovery cd does
not install any Tablet support - just installs Win XP home. The CD is
labeled "Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Operating System Disc."

When I scour the CD, it appears that the files are there to do a Tablet
install, but something is not working right. Their "technical" help has
proven useless and there is no way for me to reach anyone else at the
company. I suspect that there is some setting in the Unattended.txt file or
the txtsetup.sif file that will trigger it to load the proper version of
windows. I could be wrong though - and just out of luck. Any help would be
appreciated.

Need the tablet make/model at a minimum... don't think I can help, but
others might with that info.

I think I've solved the problem. There was an issue in the recovery
partition and the recovery software (Gateway) loaded from the partition,
irrespective of what CD was loaded. I downloaded a tool from the web that
booted from a CD and alowed me to delete the protected recovery partition.
Then the CD loaded XP TE without a problem.

Thanks for the help.
