Error: 'Image File Not Found' or Using a Custom Recovery Image
If the 'Image File Not Found' error appears, see below to make sure the image
specified in RECOV.DAT is located on the Recovery CF.
The Recovery CF is supplied with a current MICROS WS5A POSReady 2009
image. To substitute a custom image, see the procedure below.
•
Start the WS5A with the Recovery CF installed and use Windows Explorer
to browse the card.
•
Move or delete the factory image with the .GHO extension from the root of
the CF card.
•
Copy the custom image to the root directory of the Recovery CF Card.
•
Use Notepad or other text editor to open the RECOV.DAT file. On the last
line, replace the factory image file name with the name of your image and
include the .GHO extension. For example, enter
'YOURIMAGENAME.GHO.'
•
Save the changes and exit the editor.
•
Perform a test recovery to verify the image name is specified correctly. If it
is not specified correctly, the error message appears stating 'Image file not
found.'
